In a multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud reality, Upwind provides comprehensive cloud security to accelerate productivity and empower their development, security and DevOps teams to innovate within a secure and efficient environment, including managed Kubernetes services like Microsoft’s AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service).
Upwind customer Petrofac leverages Upwind to protect their AKS resources across a number of areas:
- Complete AKS visibility: Upwind allows Petrofac to view resource communication and identify all communication within clusters, within accounts, and to the internet.
- Real-time AKS security: Petrofac can use Upwind’s threat detection and response to detect threats and stop them at the packet and process level.
- Prioritized AKS risk analysis: Upwind has reduced 98% of Petrofac’s alerts, helping them focus on their most critical risks and proactively reduce their attack surface.
- AKS identity awareness: Upwind gives Petrofac visibility into all of its running user identities, including viewing identity risk by resource, and identifying all users and their permissions that have access to AKS resources.
“Upwind was incredibly easy to get up and running, within the first few hours of connecting to the Platform, we already had an actionable list of recommendations to strengthen our AKS security, as well as real-time visibility into our containerized resource communication.”
