It has been a big week for Upwind here at AWS re:Invent 2024!
Our team has been on the ground in Las Vegas, Nevada this week for AWS’s largest annual conference. Here’s a quick look at what we’ve been up to.
Monday, December 2.
We announced our $100 million Series A, which was featured in dozens of media outlets including Reuters and TechCrunch.
Not only that – it was also celebrated by the New York Stock Exchange and featured on the Nasdaq tower.
Tuesday, December 3.
We had our first full day at the re:Invent expo, where we have had the privilege of speaking with hundreds of cloud and security practitioners. The excitement about Upwind and our next-generation cloud security platform is infectious – not to mention the excitement for our surf-themed booth and new Hawaiian shirts, which were a huge hit with attendees.
Our CPO Joshua Burgin also gave a talk at 4pm on Tuesday which was attended by dozens of security leaders, looking at the need for shift-right security in addition to shift left. For anyone who missed the talk, you can watch it on the AWS youtube.
Wednesday, December 3.
Our booth team continued going strong on the second full day of re:Invent. We also had the opportunity to meet with dozens of customers and even hold a roundtable with our Latin American partner RealCloud.
Finally, AWS announced our new EC2 Image Builder integration – making it easier than ever for teams to bake Upwind in to their golden images.
“It’s great seeing Upwind continue to excel on the AWS Marketplace, helping their customers to secure containers and now EC2 instances at Runtime on AWS with AWS native support as an EKS add on and now part of the EC2 ImageBuilder.”
– Phillip Potloff I General Manager, AWS Marketplace
Thursday, December 4.
Our team was on the ground for the final day of AWS re:Invent at the expo. If you didn’t make it by and would like to see why customers are raving about our next-generation cloud security solution, schedule a demo of the Upwind platform.
Finally, on Thursday we announced Upwind Shift Left – our new capability that allows you to easily identify and prioritize vulnerabilities during build time, reducing risks before software reaches production without creating any noise and unnecessary work for developers. This was also covered by major media including AP news and Business Insider.
