Introducing Upwind’s New Threat Dashboard: Simplifying Complexity to Drive Action

Today, we’re excited to announce the release of the enhanced Upwind Threat Dashboard, part of our ongoing commitment to continuously improving how we help security teams protect their environments. Threat landscapes are evolving rapidly, and so are we. This upgrade builds on what customers already rely on, introducing powerful new capabilities that make it easier to gain clearer visibility, deeper context, and greater confidence in managing threats.

Cloud-native environments generate massive volumes of data every day: thousands of events, detections, and alerts across workloads, containers, and infrastructure. While this information is vital, it can easily become overwhelming without the right tools to interpret it. The enhanced Threat Dashboard brings the most important insights front and center, so teams can see what matters, understand why it matters, and act quickly.

By combining critical insights, runtime context, and intuitive visualization into a single interface, the dashboard transforms noisy streams of security data into trusted, actionable intelligence.

Turning Complexity Into Clarity

As environments scale and attackers grow more sophisticated, the challenge isn’t just collecting data – it’s knowing where to focus. Many dashboards show you everything; Upwind’s approach is different. The enhanced Threat Dashboard highlights the signals that matter most and connects them directly to your live runtime environment, ensuring insights are relevant and actionable.

It doesn’t just visualize detections, it guides security teams toward action by correlating data, applying runtime context, and prioritizing what requires immediate attention. This focus on trusted insights, not noise, enables teams to respond faster and with greater confidence.

Key Enhancements That Deliver Value

Active Threat Stories

The dashboard makes the most important number the most visible: the count of active threat stories in your environment. By surfacing this front and center, teams know instantly where to focus. Each story consolidates related detections into a single, contextualized view, so when something appears here, it’s already been validated and prioritized. Critical incidents are impossible to miss and easy to act on immediately.

Noise to Signal Threat Funnel

The new Upwind Noise to Signal Threat Funnel visualization illustrates the journey from raw activity to actionable insights. Starting with Events, narrowing to Detections, and consolidating into Threat Stories, the funnel shows how Upwind filters noise and correlates signals. By applying runtime context throughout this process, the dashboard builds trust in what it surfaces. When something reaches the end of the funnel as a Threat Story, you know it has been enriched, validated, and represents an actionable incident worth investigating.

Threat Detections Over Time

Our enhanced Threat Dashboard doesn’t just help teams see what’s happening right now – it also helps them understand how threats evolve over time. A new time-based view of detections, segmented by severity  makes it easy to spot spikes, track patterns, and measure progress at a glance.

This historical perspective helps security teams prioritize resources more effectively, identify potential attacks in their early stages, and confirm whether mitigations are reducing risk. Instead of reacting to alerts in isolation, teams gain a clear view of trends across their environment, enabling them to strengthen defenses proactively and stay ahead of emerging threats.

Context-Rich Investigations

A new list view of active threat stories gives teams the context they need to act decisively. Each story shows associated detections, impacted assets, and severity levels in one place, enabling faster investigation and remediation. By connecting what happened to why it matters, the dashboard removes guesswork and accelerates response times.

MITRE ATT&CK Mapping

The dashboard now maps detections to the MITRE ATT&CK framework, giving teams a standardized view of adversary tactics and techniques. This helps organizations better understand attacker behavior, align defenses with best practices, and continuously improve their security posture.

Threat Source Visibility

The enhanced dashboard also shows where detections originate – from sensors and cloud scanners to audit logs, and more, his transparency helps security teams validate their monitoring coverage and quickly identify any blind spots, ensuring critical threats are never overlooked.

New Automatic Threat Feed Notifications

We’ve also heard strong feedback from the field about the value of the Upwind Threat Feed, so we’ve introduced a new default workflow to keep you informed, with insights that actually matter to you.

Starting today, all customers will automatically receive timely updates from our Research and MDR teams whenever new Threat Feed items are published. Unlike generic threat intelligence feeds, the Upwind Threat Feed is correlated directly to your live runtime environment. That means every notification you receive is relevant to your assets and exposures, not just background noise.

What’s live now:

• Automatic notifications: Get an email as soon as a new Threat Feed item is added.
• Flexible controls: Choose to receive updates for all new items, only items that affect your environment, or disable notifications entirely.

This enhancement ensures that your team is always aware of emerging threats that impact your environment, without adding unnecessary noise or manual overhead, so you can act quickly and confidently when it matters most. Just like all workflows, customization is available in the settings module and workflows subheader.

Driving Action Through Visibility

Security teams today face the dual challenge of managing growing detection volumes while needing to respond faster than ever. The enhanced Threat Dashboard bridges the gap between data and action by delivering three critical outcomes:

• Clarity: A unified view of threats and detections highlights priorities and reduces noise.
• Context: Insights enriched with runtime data build trust in what surfaces and empower faster, smarter decisions.
• Confidence: When something reaches the Threat Story stage, teams know it’s meaningful and actionable.

By turning complexity into clarity, the Threat Dashboard enables security teams to stay ahead of attackers, make better-informed decisions, and respond with precision and speed.
