Upwind is focused on a simple but powerful idea: security only matters when it can lead to action. Our platform delivers real-time, runtime intelligence - enriching posture findings with deep behavioral context, API and identity awareness, and actual exploitability signals. But even the most advanced detection loses value if remediation is slow, manual, or siloed.…

We’re excited to announce that the Upwind Sensor now officially supports NixOS. This marks a major step forward for teams running fully declarative infrastructure – NixOS users can now seamlessly deploy and manage the Upwind Sensor using the reproducible, version-controlled workflows they already trust for the rest of their system. What is NixOS? NixOS is…

It was a regular Thursday when Lisa, a DevOps lead at a mid-sized fintech company, got an alert: Log4Shell, a zero-day vulnerability in Log4j, was being exploited. Confident in their security posture, she checked the SBOM. No Log4j. But as network anomalies piled up, a manual scan revealed the truth – Log4j was buried in…

Upwind is a hybrid solution that utilizes both agentless cloud scanners along with our industry-leading eBPF-based sensor to ensure deep visibility and security in every environment. Our Agentless Azure Cloud Scanner builds out graph inventory, then overlays secrets exposure, vulnerabilities scanning, internet exposure, configuration findings and more - enabling a rapid onramp to capabilities such…

Security teams are drowning in alerts. Static scanners surface thousands of issues, but most are irrelevant. The real challenge isn’t finding problems, it’s knowing which ones to fix. The Upwind + Jit integration brings runtime intelligence directly into AI-powered workflows so you can stop guessing and start fixing what matters. By combining Upwind’s real-time context…

If you store or process customer data in the European Union (EU), knowing exactly where that data resides isn’t optional – it’s the law. For growing companies, meeting those requirements without friction can also be a strategic advantage. That’s why we’re excited to announce our independent region capability: enabling one-click data residency compliance directly within…

As cloud environments grow more complex, runtime threats are increasingly tied to issues that originate far earlier in the software lifecycle. For example, a vulnerable open-source dependency introduced during development or misconfigured build pipelines that resulted in insecure container images. At Upwind, we believe runtime security is the foundation –  but security doesn’t stop there.…

Upwind Sensor now brings runtime visibility to gVisor sandboxed containers, proactively identifying threats in environments built for maximum isolation. gVisor acts as a security layer between containerized apps and the host OS, improving security and isolation, which is especially important for containers running sensitive workloads. With our new support for gVisor, strong isolation no longer comes…

The Upwind Platform is a hybrid solution, enabling a best of both worlds approach with agentless deployment options for rapid time-to-value and a sensor for industry-leading realtime and runtime security. While we’ve previously covered our agentless cloud sensors, this post focuses on how quickly you can deploy the Upwind sensor and gain deep, real-time visibility…

Cloud environments continue to grow in complexity—and with them, the risk surface expands. CISOs and security leaders are now contending with an increasing volume of posture alerts, many of which fail to account for real-world exploitability. Traditional posture frameworks, while rooted in best practices, often fail to prioritize real risks. They evaluate risk by individual…

Today, we’re introducing one of the most important upgrades we’ve ever made to the Upwind platform – designed to solve a persistent problem for security teams: connecting inventory data with real-time enforcement and meaningful policy impact. This release brings a new level of enhanced inventory management that redefines how security teams discover, query, and enforce…

Too many security tools create friction – forcing you to choose between speed and safety, or bolting on yet another dashboard. Integrating security tools shouldn’t slow you down;  it should make your pipeline smarter, faster, and safer. Upwind is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing DevSecOps workflow, enhancing visibility and control without disrupting your…
