Upwind AI Security: Securing Every Layer of the AI Stack
Introduction: AI in the Wild AI is no longer confined to R&D teams and academic benchmarks. It’s powering help desks, generating product recommendations, writing code, and increasingly connecting directly to critical systems via toolchains and APIs. These new capabilities come…
The Cloud Security Maturity Journey
Cloud adoption has redefined how organizations innovate and scale. But with agility comes complexity, and with complexity, risk. Security leaders are tasked not only with defending modern architectures but also with proving that security enables innovation rather than slowing it…
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…
How Upwind Uses eBPF to Bring Real-Time Security to Cloud-Native Environments
Modern cloud-native environments offer unprecedented speed, scalability, and developer agility – but they also introduce complexity that traditional security tools struggle to manage. Containers spin up and down in seconds, microservices multiply rapidly, and infrastructure changes dynamically. Static logs and…
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…

CADR Webinar with James Berthoty and Joshua Burgin
Redefining Cloud Security with Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR) Traditional cloud security approaches struggle to keep up with today’s evolving threats. Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR) is changing the game—leveraging real-time insights to enhance protection and response capabilities. Join Analyst James Berthoty and Upwind CPO Joshua Burgin for…
eBPF versus Kernel Extensions
Recent events in the world of cybersecurity have brought an influx of attention to a technology known as kernel extensions, and the serious risks that can arise when third-party programs that utilize this technology experience bugs and incompatibilities. So today, we…
Leveraging eBPF for DevSecOps
eBPF is a revolutionary technology, originating from the Linux kernel. It is used to safely and efficiently extend the capabilities of the kernel without requiring changing the kernel source code or loading kernel modules/extensions. Today, eBPF is used extensively to:…
