Enterprise employees using Claude Code, Lovable, and similar platforms can now produce working applications in an afternoon. Sharing them safely inside the organisation has been harder — email threads, unreviewed deployments, data going into systems nobody has inspected.
Island is addressing this with Enterprise Vibe Publishing, announced today. The product adds a governed distribution layer to apps built through vibe coding tools. Published apps land in a centralised app library with Island's existing identity, device posture, data loss prevention, and audit controls automatically applied.
The gap the product targets is well-documented. Gartner predicts 40% of new enterprise production software will be created with vibe coding tools by 2028. Island's own security research has separately catalogued hundreds of malicious MCP servers appearing in the wild. Without a governed publishing layer, employees who build useful internal tools tend to share them through channels IT cannot monitor, placing customer data, financial records, and source code outside any formal governance framework.
Building software has never been faster, and every employee is a potential builder. But sharing their innovations safely hasn't caught up. In the enterprise, you can't sacrifice governance for speed. Island Enterprise Vibe Publishing closes that gap, keeping the speed and simplicity of vibe coding intact, while surrounding it with the controls enterprises already trust.

Apps submitted for publishing go through administrator review and policy assignment before reaching the app library. Once approved, Island's Private Access gives each app a route to specific internal resources without broader network exposure. Usage reporting and a full audit trail feed into Island's digital employee experience monitoring, so administrators can see which one-off tools have quietly become critical infrastructure.
Teams that used to experiment quietly with small chat assistants are now turning those ideas into real workflows and apps their departments depend on. With Island Enterprise Vibe Publishing, we can finally say yes to that creativity. We give employees the sandbox to build, and Island gives us the secure wrapper to deliver those AI apps safely across the enterprise.

Island runs the product on itself. Its AI Usage Dashboard — a live tool employees use to track spending across Claude and Cursor — is published through Enterprise Vibe Publishing. Island is backed by Coatue Management, Cyberstarts, Insight Partners, and Sequoia Capital.
