Vestiaire Collective uses Upwind to increase visibility, reduce alert noise, and enhance vulnerability prioritization in their cloud environment.
Challenges
- Vestiaire Collective’s security team experienced a significant increase in alert volume, with many notifications lacking the contextual information necessary for effective prioritization, leading to growing remediation backlogs.
- The current system presented opportunities for enhancement in delivering comprehensive risk assessment guidance, causing inefficiencies in remediation efforts.
- Understanding how services interacted within their cloud environment was challenging, hindering the team’s ability to assess potential impact areas.
Solutions
- Upwind delivers runtime-powered security intelligence, allowing Vestiaire Collective’s team to eliminate unnecessary backlog and focus resources on genuine risks.
- By correlating vulnerabilities with actual workload behavior and exposure, Upwind enables Vestiaire Collective’s security engineers to quickly identify which issues affect live services, improving response times and reducing the noise-to-signal ratio.
- Upwind’s real-time topology map enables Vestiaire Collective to understand potential blast radius of risks, pinpoint upstream/downstream dependencies, and assess risk across their cloud environment.
Reduced Alert Noise and Fatigue
One of the most immediate improvements Vestiaire Collective experienced with Upwind was a significant reduction in alert noise. By leveraging runtime context and environment-aware intelligence, Upwind filters out non-actionable findings and surfaces only those threats and vulnerabilities that are exploitable and relevant. This shift allowed the security engineers to move away from manual triaging of endless alerts and focus on critical incidents that demanded their attention.
Upwind saves us a significant amount of time, helping our team focus on the truly critical alerts while disregarding low-priority findings.”
Improved Vulnerability Prioritization
Upwind’s ability to tie vulnerabilities to actual running services provided Vestiaire Collective with newfound clarity in their risk landscape. Instead of being overwhelmed by a long list of CVEs, the team could see which vulnerabilities were present in running workloads, internet-exposed services, or had active exploit paths. This real-time prioritization helped the team focus their efforts on remediating vulnerabilities that actually mattered, significantly improving operational efficiency.
With Upwind, we are able to identify any vulnerabilities and can prioritize them for remediation — helping us operate more efficiently and securely.”
Enhancing Security with Runtime Visibility
Upwind’s topology map and runtime insights provided a comprehensive, real-time view of how services connected and communicated within Vestiaire Collective’s cloud environment. This visibility proved critical not only for threat response but also for architectural planning and operational awareness.
Proactive Discovery Through API Insights
Upwind’s API discovery and behavioral analysis have also enhanced Vestiaire Collective’s ability to proactively identify potential risks in their environment. These findings allow their security team to proactively remediate potential risks across both cloud infrastructure and APIs while enhancing internal systems and configurations. What could have been missed or delayed was now proactively addressed thanks to Upwind’s deep contextual visibility into cloud workloads.
Upwind’s ability to provide detailed API insights shined the light on areas where we could proactively reduce our attack surface, that previously we had no visibility into. Doing so not only allowed us to harden our security, but to also act with increased precision and speed to reduce potential risks.”
Expert Support as a Force Multiplier
Throughout the onboarding and expansion phases, Vestiaire Collective emphasized the strength of Upwind’s customer success and support team. More than just answering tickets, Upwind acted as a security partner — advising on best practices, helping with threat assessments, and providing real-time assistance when new issues emerged.
Summary
Today, Upwind provides Vestiaire Collective with real-time runtime visibility, contextual risk prioritization, proactive API security insights, and expert support, resulting in a dramatically streamlined and more effective cloud security posture.
