Block Threats at Deployment

Enforce runtime-aware guardrails

Stop deployments that violate security posture or compliance requirements.

Prevent real exploitable vulnerabilities

Block CVEs proven reachable in your live code paths.

Stop credential & secret exposure

Prevent containers holding sensitive data from being deployed.

Stop Malware & Supply Chain Risks

Detect malicious artifacts in images

Identify tampering, backdoors, and known attack signatures.

Block lateral-movement enablers

Prevent risky privileges, exposed SSH keys, and open network policies.

Halt unverified components

Require signed images and trusted sources only.

Apply Cloud-Native Policy Controls

Granular controls by namespace, cluster & workload type

Tailor enforcement to the environment and team.

Automatic compliance enforcement

Ensure every development upholds CIS Benchmarks and internal policies.

Zero-trust for container admission

Verify identity and behavior before granting access.

Validate Microservice Dependencies

Block new insecure connections

Prevent services from communicating with risky workloads.

Enforce least-privilege connectivity

Guard against drift and lateral spread as environment evolve.

Protect Kubernetes-based AI workloads

Ensure GPU, model servers, and data APIs don't introduce hidden exposure paths.

Protect Performance & Delivery Velocity

No slowdown to CI/CD pipelines

Ignore vulnerabilities with no path to execution or access.

Developer-ready context

Provide remediation details so teams can quickly adjust builds and meet security standards.

Flexible enforcement for every environment

Alert early in development and enforce protections as workloads progress toward staging and production maturity.

See Deployment Risk Before It's Live

Gain a single view into which deployments were blocked, why, and how to fix them. Prioritize based on runtime exploitability, real attack paths, and impacted assets — not theoretical exposure.

We needed to know what vulnerabilities are real so we can fix those and Upwind was the only platform that could do this for us.

With our initial deployment of Upwind Agent Pack, our visibility and telemetry across our public cloud environments has increased not by percents but by multiples. Our program visibility is 3x or 4x what it was previously. Add to that the Agent Pack’s ability to show runtime vulnerabilities and we can target and remediate across our enterprise where it matters most.

Upwind has mastered the hardest part of cloud security: providing the deep context required for accurate remediation. That extends to real time monitoring. The Agentic Pack release takes this even further, using specialized agents to manage investigation and validation at a scale that was previously impossible.
