The context gap: what runtime context changes in cloud and AI security

Key takeaways  Most cloud security teams can see their environment. Inventory is broad, scanners run on schedule and findings pile up. What they can't tell you is which of those findings matter right now. That's the context gap. Visibility was the right foundation, and most programs have built it (see where yours sits on the…

eMudhra CA Compromise: What Cloud Security Teams Need to Know

Executive summary On October 17, a researcher reported control of eight eMudhra intermediate certificate authority private keys. Mozilla independently recovered the keys and confirmed that their generation was flawed. The technical finding is severe: the affected P-384 private keys were integers below 256, making them trivially recoverable from public information. Describing this simply as a…

LiteLLM 1.107.0 Supply Chain Attack: Malicious Code Found in PyPI Package

October 21, 2026
TL;DR A supply chain security investigation has identified malicious code in LiteLLM version 1.107.0, a Python package distributed through PyPI. The affected package contains multiple files designed to execute code automatically when Python starts, retrieve attacker-controlled payloads, and maintain persistent access to compromised environments. Based on the analyzed package, this should be treated as a…

October 21, 2026
TL;DR PHP has released emergency fixes for two critical memory-corruption vulnerabilities, CVE-2026-109618 and CVE-2026-109619. Both allow unauthenticated remote code execution on default configurations. Details were leaked before the coordinated disclosure, which forced an accelerated release. Update to PHP 8.5.12, 8.4.27, 8.3.36 or 8.2.35 now. UPDATE: Now Official With Patch Versions UPDATE (October 21, 2026 14:00…

Runtime First, Agentless Everywhere

Bar Klinghofer October 19, 2026
TL;DR Kubernetes has taken on a second job. Clusters still run the applications they always ran, but now they also run AI agents, model-serving workloads, and MCP servers alongside the applications those agents work on. These workloads do not behave like the applications Kubernetes was built to run. They call tools, reach external services, and…

Upwind Launches Databricks Security for Lakehouse Data and AI

Upwind Launches Databricks Security for Lakehouse Data and AI

Assaf Maor October 19, 2026
Databricks permissions now trace to the cloud resources they actually reach.  Ask a Databricks admin who can read a given catalog and you'll get an answer. Ask what that access reaches in your cloud account and nobody can tell you, because Databricks doesn't track it. Unity Catalog ends at the storage credential, and what sits…

Can AI Agents Safely Remediate Cloud Misconfigurations? We Tested 12 Models.

Introduction Teams are starting to let AI agents fix their cloud findings. What nobody has measured is whether those changes are safe to run. So we built a live AWS account, broke it on purpose in eighteen ways that chain into nine attack paths, and gave twelve AI models read-only access to it with one…

The State of AI Security for Endpoints

Idan Yalovich October 12, 2026
A first look at 10,000 workstations We analyzed AI agent activity across 10,000 workstations at Upwind customers in the United States and Europe. This post is a sneak peek at the findings ahead of the full report. The short version: agent adoption has already moved past the point where an approval process can catch up…

What I’ve Learned Building a Technology Partner Ecosystem

Alon Saban October 07, 2026
Reaching 100+ integrations with The Lineup at Upwind is a milestone I’m incredibly proud of. But when I think about what it took to get here, the number itself isn’t the most interesting part. The interesting part is what happens along the way. You start by building integrations. Then customers introduce new use cases. Partners…

Agent Skill Risks: Taxonomy 101

Introduction In the first eight months of 2026, a Russian-speaking threat actor who had built a career on hotel-booking and fintech platforms turned to AI companies. The technique they used against one AI vendor did not involve any exploit. Like most AI vendors, the target ran an automated evaluation sandbox, an agent pipeline that reads…
