In today’s fast-paced development environments, the speed of software delivery has outpaced traditional security workflows. APIs are often published before they’re reviewed, cloud resources are deployed via automation, and new vulnerabilities emerge in runtime that never existed in dev or staging. It's estimated that over 50% of data breaches by 2025 will originate from unprotected…

APIs are the foundation of modern software. From mobile apps to cloud-native platforms, they allow services to communicate, scale, and deliver value quickly. In fact, more than 70% of all internet traffic flows through APIs today, which makes them both essential and high-risk. But as APIs have become more critical, they’ve also become one of…

In the cloud, time is always against you. Every moment a critical vulnerability lingers unpatched is an opening for attackers. Security scans often surface hundreds, or even thousands, of findings at once, assigning SLAs (Service Level Agreements) based on outdated or irrelevant information. For most teams, this means hours lost triaging findings instead of closing…

Upwind now supports a significant new AI-powered capability in the Upwind platform, allowing users to create custom posture rules with LLM-based Rego, streamlining workflows and accelerating reduction of their cloud attack surface. Upwind’s runtime-backed posture engine has always surfaced high-impact misconfigurations that pose true risks to cloud environments, often missed by traditional CSPMs. With this…

We're excited to announce that Upwind now supports the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), helping security and compliance teams move faster with ongoing posture checks, active threat detection, and automated enforcement. With this release, customers can apply the same runtime-aware compliance capabilities already used across frameworks such as HIPAA,…

Most cloud security platforms are built on static assumptions - scanning code, configs, and assets to guess where risk might exist. At Upwind, we took a fundamentally different approach: we built our platform on runtime. By capturing real-time signals directly from the kernel, Upwind delivers deep, continuous visibility into how workloads, APIs, identities, and data actually…

One of Upwind’s core advantages begins the moment runtime data is collected. That’s the moment teams stop guessing and start securing based on what’s actually happening in their clusters. From there, they gain meaningful visibility into workload behavior, identify real risks, and apply security policies based on observed activity rather than assumptions. To help teams…

In cloud security, visibility without prioritization creates noise - and that's why ever aspect of our product is designed to bring actionable value. For this reason, we are excited to announce enhancements to the the Upwind Home Dashboard, making it even easier to immediately understand the state of an environment and which security findings should…

Traditional CI/CD scanners flood teams with alerts but often miss the issues that matter in production. Upwind changes that by combining build-time scanning with runtime context, so teams focus on vulnerabilities that are truly exploitable, without slowing down developer workflows. Upwind now supports GitLab CI/CD scanning, answering strong demand from regulated industries and GitLab-first teams.…

Sensitive data is the crown jewel of every organization and the primary target for attackers. But in modern cloud environments, it’s increasingly difficult to answer key questions, like, "Where is our data? How is it used? What’s putting it at risk?" Consider the example shown below - an organization has security tooling in place, but…

Cloud Security should be effortless to deploy, seamless to operate, and architected for maximum efficiency. We are excited to announce that we have made groundbreaking technological advancements to Upwind Agentless Cloud Scanners -- the technology that powers Upwind Agentless and Sensor-based scanning -- resulting in industry-leading performance and accuracy. Starting today, Upwind Scanners 2.0 are…

Cloud-native infrastructure has become more dynamic and distributed, but application behavior at runtime remains one of the most overlooked aspects of cloud security. Attackers increasingly exploit logic flaws and runtime gaps that static analysis can’t catch. Following our acquisition of Nyx in April 2025, we’ve now fully integrated its technology into the Upwind platform. This…
