Stop Chasing Ghosts: Why You Need Layer-Level Visibility in Your Container Images

The industry has a "shift left" problem. We’ve become excellent at scanning images and generating massive spreadsheets of vulnerabilities. But for most security teams, a scan result is just the start of a forensic investigation. You find a critical CVE, but then the real work begins:  Is this in the base image?  Did a developer…

Beyond the Perimeter: Runtime Visibility for AWS Lambda

The industry has a snapshot problem. Static analysis and SCA tools tell you what might happen based on a manifest, but once a function is triggered, the execution environment becomes a black box. For most security teams, Lambda security is a "hope for the best" strategy. The "Old Way" relies on coarse-grained IAM policies and…

Refining Your Workflow: A Faster, More Intuitive Upwind Experience

At Upwind, our goal has always been to provide deep visibility into your cloud environment without the "dashboard fatigue" that plagues so many security teams. We know that in the heat of a security incident, every second counts—and every click matters. That’s why we’ve rolled out a series of Platform Navigation Updates designed to make…

The Revolution in Cloud Security Prioritization

In the modern cloud landscape, security teams are drowning in a deluge of vulnerabilities. Thousands of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) lurk within base images, open-source libraries, and operating systems. While today’s security infrastructure is doing better at detection—scanning images, generating Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs), and identifying exposures at scale—the real battle has shifted.…

Introducing Upwind Data Security: Bringing Sensitive Data Risk Into Cloud Security Context

As cloud environments expand, so does the volume of sensitive data stored within them. For security teams, it is no longer enough to know whether a bucket is public or a workload is vulnerable. They also need visibility into a more fundamental question: what sensitive data exists across their cloud assets, and how does its…

Expanding Compliance Coverage with New Industry Frameworks and Upwind’s Cloud Hygiene Framework

Cloud security teams are being asked to do more than ever. They need to prove compliance against growing regulatory demands, reduce configuration risk, and keep cloud environments lean, secure, and aligned with how they were actually designed to operate. That is why we are excited to introduce several new frameworks now available in Upwind’s Configurations…

Upwind Audit Logs: Complete Traceability for Every Action in the Platform

When something changes in your cloud security platform, the first question is almost always the same: What happened and who did it? Upwind Audit Logs gives security and platform teams a centralized, searchable record of user-driven actions across the Upwind platform, including activity performed through the UI or Public API. The result is clearer accountability,…

Upwind Runtime Protection Now Supports Azure

Cloud teams are moving fast on Azure PaaS to reduce operational overhead—serverless containers with Azure Container Apps and managed web apps with Azure App Services. But that speed often comes with a tradeoff: security visibility and detection can lag behind because you don’t have the same host access or deployment patterns you’d expect in Kubernetes…

Upwind Custom Dashboards

Personalize your view—without compromising RBAC, ownership, or auditability. We’re excited to share that Custom Dashboards are now available to all customers. This is an important step in Upwind’s Enterprise readiness, giving teams the ability to tailor how they consume insights based on role, responsibility, and priority—turning existing widgets into personalized, actionable dashboards. Overview Upwind’s Custom…

Image Layers are now in the Upwind Console

Upwind’s Image Layers capability gives you deep visibility into how container images are built—so you can assign vulnerability ownership correctly, find root cause faster, and remediate issues more effectively across teams. Most tools only show the final image state. Upwind breaks images down layer by layer, so you can see exactly where a vulnerability was…

Stop Misconfigurations Before They Ship with Upwind Kubernetes Admission Controller

Kubernetes environments move fast. Deployments happen constantly—through CI/CD pipelines, GitOps workflows, and direct kubectl commands. And when a misconfiguration slips in (a privileged pod, a missing required label, a deprecated API version), it can become a security incident in minutes. Until now, most teams have relied on post-deployment scanning to catch these issues. The problem:…

Upwind Enables a Faster, More Flexible Way to Triage Vulnerabilities with the “By Finding” View

We’re excited to announce that the new “By Finding” view is now live in the Upwind Vulnerability Management module, enabling security teams to triage vulnerabilities faster and more flexibly across their entire cloud environment. As cloud-native infrastructure continues to scale across clusters, container images, packages, and services, security teams need vulnerability management workflows that are…
