Easily Identify Internet-Exposed Resources with Upwind’s External Exposure Dashboard

We are excited to announce an exciting  new capability for the Upwind Platform – our External Exposure Dashboard. 

This new dashboard automatically highlights where you are vulnerable and at risk due to your exposure to the Internet, including via exposed assets, open management ports, serverless functions, databases, and object storage.

Upwind’s External Exposure Dashboard enables security leaders such as CISOs, VPs of Engineering, and more to easily track their organization’s progress on securing their infrastructure, supporting data-driven decision-making, and making it easy to communicate security compliance to stakeholders. 

Likewise, security teams can leverage this dashboard to easily understand their most critically exposed resources and identify internet-exposed attack paths that should be prioritized for immediate remediation.

Getting its 12-digit account ID is the first step in targeting it. The documented way to get it is organizations:DescribeOrganization - but security-conscious environments restrict…

Introducing the new Configurations experience in Upwind

Compliance should not be a fire drill! Ask a security team how audit season goes and you will often hear a version of the same story. Someone pulls a list of cloud accounts. Someone else exports findings into a spreadsheet that is already outdated by the time it is shared. Screenshots get pasted into a…
