The Pyramid of Agents Is Also a Pyramid of Identities
Key Takeaways When Anthropic published its piece on recursive self-improvement, the line that traveled was the efficiency one. A 100-person company doing the work of a much larger one, because each person sits atop a pyramid of agents. It's a striking image, and it's probably right. But there's a second diagram hiding inside the first…

Protect Windows Workloads Wherever They Run
Windows workloads remain a critical part of modern cloud environments. From business applications and identity services to databases and internal tooling, Windows Server hosts often support some of the most important pieces of the enterprise stack. Upwind is extending runtime protection and visibility to Windows Server hosts running in private cloud and on-premises environments, including…

Realtime Data Security, Across Every Cloud
If you asked most security leaders where all of their data is flowing, which workloads and AI services are accessing it, and whether it's exposed, only a few could answer with confidence, and almost none would have the answer in real time.Not because that data is not available, but because it's scattered across multiple cloud…

Trust Is Full-Duplex
Key Takeaways A few weeks ago, Mira Murati's lab, Thinking Machines, put out a research preview of something they're calling interaction models. If you haven't seen it, it's worth your time. This is a serious effort from serious people, the kind of lab that trains a 276-billion-parameter model from scratch and stands up a whole…

Is your AI governance actually governing anything?
Key Takeaways Most organizations believe they have AI governance because they have policies, risk classifications, even responsible AI principles documented and approved. What they do not have, in most cases, is the ability to answer a basic question: what is every AI agent in our environment doing right now, and should it be doing that?…

Why Cloud Security UX Is Broken, and How We’re Fixing It
As a design team, we spend a lot of time watching where users slow down, where they hesitate, and where the product makes them work harder than it should. In cloud security, one pattern shows up again and again: A security engineer starts their day by opening the platform and scanning a long list of…

Announcing Upwind AI Sensor for Endpoints
Today, we are excited to announce the Upwind AI Sensor for Endpoints! In the world we've known until now, the threat model was familiar. A developer accidentally commits a secret to a repository. A DevOps engineer exposes sensitive data to the internet. Someone deploys a workload carrying a critical vulnerability. To deal with these risks,…

Choppy AI Agent, A Security Team’s Best Friend
Cloud security teams do not have a visibility problem anymore. They have a context problem. Modern cloud environments generate endless findings across vulnerabilities, identities, APIs, data, configurations, threats, workloads, and exposure. The challenge is not just knowing what exists. It is understanding what matters, why it matters, and what to do next. That is where…

Who’s watching the code AI writes?
It’s probably no shocker that most of the code shipping into production this year wasn't written by a person. The real question isn't whether it's any good, but who's watching what it does once it's running, because no human ever held the context for it in the first place. Here's a startling number that may…

Introducing Upwind Attack Surface Management: Find the Exposures That Matter Before Attackers Do
We’re excited to announce Upwind Attack Surface Management (ASM), a new way for security teams to discover unknown attack surfaces, understand risk exposure, and prioritize the issues that matter most. Security teams have spent years improving visibility across their environments. They use scanners, asset inventories, vulnerability management platforms, CSPM tools, and attack surface management solutions…

Investigate Faster, Detect Smarter: The Next Wave of Upwind AI Threat Detection
The moment an attacker initiates access to your network, evidence starts to appear, and in that moment, detections start to fire. That’s the moment you just start the hard part of investigating and discovering the true attack chain. Our goal shifts from monitoring to investigating - What was this workload actually doing? What happened before…

Mastra Supply Chain Compromise: easy-day-js Dropper Pulls a Cross-Platform RAT Into @mastra Installs
Executive Summary On June 17 2026, a coordinated supply chain attack pushed a malicious easy-day-js package into the dependency tree of the entire @mastra/* npm organization. Any npm install for a compromised @mastra/* package pulls [email protected], which runs a postinstall dropper, downloads a cross-platform RAT, installing persistent backdoors on macOS, Linux, and Windows. The Mastra…

The Lineup: Where Partnerships Become Real Value
In surfing, the lineup is where it all starts. It's the place where surfers seize the next big wave, together! It’s where experience meets timing. Where trust, respect, and awareness matter as much as skill. That idea is exactly what inspired The Lineup: Upwind's Technology Alliances Program, and why we think it's the right model…
