Runtime Cloud Security: Focus on the Risks Attackers Can Actually Reach
Cloud security teams are under pressure to move faster, but the volume of cloud risk keeps growing. Verizon’s 2025 DBIR found that vulnerability exploitation as an initial access vector increased 34% year over year, while IBM reported the global average cost of a data breach at $4.4 million. The issue is not that teams lack […]
Improve Kubernetes Visibility Across Cloud Environments
Security teams need a reliable way to understand what exists in their cloud environment, how assets connect, and where to investigate when risk appears. That gets harder when container clusters and Kubernetes workloads show up differently across cloud providers, services, and data sources. Upwind normalizes container clusters and Kubernetes workloads in the Inventory graph, giving […]
Upwind Expands Runtime Protection to Windows Server VMs
Windows workloads remain a critical part of modern cloud environments. From business applications and identity services to databases and internal systems, Windows Server VMs often support some of the most important parts of the enterprise stack. Today, we’re excited to introduce runtime protection and visibility for Windows Server VMs, expanding Upwind’s runtime coverage to Windows […]
Know What You’re Protecting Across Your Cloud
Security teams need confidence that the cloud environments they rely on are covered. In fast-moving organizations, that confidence can be difficult to maintain as new accounts are added, workloads shift, and infrastructure changes across teams, regions, and providers. Upwind now makes it easier to validate cloud security coverage across connected cloud accounts and runtime sensors. […]
The Faster Security Teams Can Prioritize Risk, the Faster They Can Act
Cloud security teams are expected to move fast. They need to investigate issues quickly, answer leadership questions clearly, and stay ahead of risk across environments that keep growing more complex. But in many organizations, too much time is still spent on work that does not reduce risk. Before a team can investigate an issue, they […]
From Raw Data to Next Steps: How AI is Changing the Way Security Teams Work
There’s increased friction happening inside security teams right now. It’s not a new vulnerability or an active breach. It’s the weight of context-switching, the hours spent translating raw logs, JSON payloads, detection logic, and technical alert data into something a human can actually act on. Leaders already know this problem. The answer isn’t more dashboards […]
Unified Cloud VM Inventory: Eliminate Security Blind Spots
Cloud environments don’t care about your org chart, and neither do attackers. Whether your workloads run on AWS, Azure, or GCP, your security team needs to investigate threats, query inventory, and understand risk without mentally translating between three different provider schemas. That translation work is slow, error-prone, and reduces time to remediation. Today, we’re excited […]
Investigate Azure Threats Faster With Full Log Visibility
If you’re running workloads in Azure, chances are your security team has a solid handle on what’s configured. Resource settings, network rules, identity policies it’s all there in your posture management dashboard. But here’s the question that keeps security leaders up at night: do you know what’s actually happening? Configuration snapshots are great at telling […]
Google Cloud Run Gets Direct Tracer Reporting for Scalable Runtime Security
Last year, we launched full security support for Google Cloud Run bringing posture management, real-time threat detection, vulnerability management, inventory discovery, and topology mapping to serverless container workloads. Teams using Cloud Run got the same Upwind coverage they already relied on for VMs and containers. Now we’re making that experience even simpler. With direct tracer […]
Drive Remediation, Show Progress: A New Way to Measure Cloud Security Posture
You’ve invested in security tools and surfaced thousands of findings. Yet, when the board asks if the organization’s cloud risk is improving, the answer is a number without a story. When you need engineering to prioritize fixing issues, your request competes with every other item in an already-strained backlog. Finding issues isn’t the problem. The […]
