Case Study: Eagle County School District improves student safety and secure access with Island

Eagle County School District secures 16,000+ devices and emergency access in seconds with Island

Eagle County School District, a school district in Colorado, faced significant challenges securing and managing access to its critical student information system across thousands of devices. Their strict security protocols, which required a VPN and a managed device, dangerously delayed emergency response times. They also struggled with network strain from BYOD policies, frequent internet outages causing lost learning time, and students bypassing content filters. The district needed a secure solution that would provide instant, reliable access without impeding education.

The district implemented the Island Enterprise Browser to solve these problems. The solution enabled administrators to instantly access sensitive student data from any mobile device during emergencies, drastically improving response times. It also provided secure, filtered browsing for over 16,000 daily devices, both managed and personal, without the need for complex VPN management. Island's deployment was frictionless and is projected to save the district $100K by consolidating content filtering and security training costs.
