We’re on a mission to secure the cloud
the right way.
Upwind was founded by the team who built Spot.io, the market leader for cloud infrastructure automation and optimization (acquired by NetApp). We are continuing our mission to empower organizations to run cloud environments and accelerate their businesses by focusing on what is next — helping make cloud-native security simple, effective, and easy to consume.
Why Upwind?
Up·wind /ˌəpˈwind/
In the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind.
In windsurfing, “Upwind” is a basic technique that allows surfers to navigate toward where the wind is coming from and the key skill to come back to where you started.
As a runtime security platform, Upwind enables security professionals to navigate effectively toward the root cause of security issues. Providing a powerful context of applications and infrastructure behavior despite the head wind of cloud chaos and alerting noise.

“Partnering with Upwind was easy—the founding team is earnest, has built a Cloud Infrastructure business before, sold it to Netapp, and has domain experience and ambition to build an important company.”
We are backed by the best cyber security investors in the world
