Upwind Delivers Faster Time-To-Value for CIS AKS
We’re excited to announce that Upwind now supports the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), helping security and compliance teams move faster with ongoing posture checks, active threat detection, and automated enforcement. With this release, customers can apply the same runtime-aware compliance capabilities already used across frameworks such as HIPAA, […]
Consolidate Cloud Security Tools with API and Infrastructure Protection
Most cloud security platforms are built on static assumptions – scanning code, configs, and assets to guess where risk might exist. At Upwind, we took a fundamentally different approach: we built our platform on runtime. By capturing real-time signals directly from the kernel, Upwind delivers deep, continuous visibility into how workloads, APIs, identities, and data actually […]
Runtime Security in Minutes: Upwind’s New Sensor Installation Experience
One of Upwind’s core advantages begins the moment runtime data is collected. That’s the moment teams stop guessing and start securing based on what’s actually happening in their clusters. From there, they gain meaningful visibility into workload behavior, identify real risks, and apply security policies based on observed activity rather than assumptions. To help teams […]
Visibility That Drives Action: Evolving the Upwind Home Dashboard
In cloud security, visibility without prioritization creates noise – and that’s why ever aspect of our product is designed to bring actionable value. For this reason, we are excited to announce enhancements to the the Upwind Home Dashboard, making it even easier to immediately understand the state of an environment and which security findings should […]
Secure Data in Rest and Transit with Upwind’s Runtime-Powered Data Security Posture Framework
Sensitive data is the crown jewel of every organization and the primary target for attackers. But in modern cloud environments, it’s increasingly difficult to answer key questions, like, “Where is our data? How is it used? What’s putting it at risk?” Consider the example shown below – an organization has security tooling in place, but […]
Upwind Cloud Scanners 2.0 Redefine the Cloud Security Standards. Now 10X Faster, 93% Leaner.
Cloud Security should be effortless to deploy, seamless to operate, and architected for maximum efficiency. We are excited to announce that we have made groundbreaking technological advancements to Upwind Agentless Cloud Scanners — the technology that powers Upwind Agentless and Sensor-based scanning — resulting in industry-leading performance and accuracy. Starting today, Upwind Scanners 2.0 are […]
Why Securing AI Workloads Demands Runtime Protection, Now More Than Ever
As enterprises race to integrate GenAI and AI-powered applications, security leaders are confronting a new class of threats. Traditional tools weren’t built for the dynamic, high-risk nature of AI workloads. AI workloads introduce new capabilities, along with new risks. They dramatically increase the cloud attack surface by running code that adapts in real time, often […]
From Discovery to Defense: Upwind’s New API Security Dashboard
At Upwind Security, we’re excited to bring a new kind of CNAPP to life – one that puts APIs and applications at the center of cloud defense. APIs have become the backbone of modern cloud-native architectures, yet they remain one of the most overlooked and exploited entry points. It’s not just a future concern; it’s […]
Navigating Kubernetes Security: Understanding the Risks and the Right Way to Stay Secure
Kubernetes, often called K8s, is revolutionizing how organizations deploy and manage containerized applications. Originally developed by Google and now open-source, Kubernetes has become a standard for orchestrating containers across on-premises, hybrid-cloud, and public cloud environments. But with this increased flexibility and scalability comes a new range of security challenges that require thoughtful, proactive solutions. In […]
Runtime Context for Smarter Patch Management: Upwind Simplifies Open Source Image Updates
Keeping open source container images up to date and secure is hard. Teams face long, noisy lists of available updates and often can’t tell which are relevant or risky. Upwind helps by showing what’s actually running in your environment and giving clear, context-based recommendations. The Open Source Security Challenge Most containerized environments rely heavily on […]
