Upwind Enables Clarity at Cloud Scale with Choppy AI

Choppy AI is now generally available across the Upwind platform, marking a new chapter in how security teams understand risk, navigate complexity, and take action with confidence, at cloud scale.

Cloud security has never been more powerful. At the same time, it’s never been more overwhelming. Modern environments generate enormous volumes of data, signals, and findings, yet security teams are still expected to translate that complexity into clear decisions. Too often, the result is noise: alerts without context, tools that require deep specialization, and workflows that slow teams down when speed matters most.

Upwind was built on a different belief: that cloud security should simplify complexity, not add to it. Choppy AI is a direct extension of that philosophy. It brings intelligence to the surface of the platform, helping teams cut through noise and engage with their environment in a more natural, intuitive way, without compromising accuracy, transparency, or trust. Rather than forcing users to adapt to rigid query languages or abstract policy syntax, Choppy AI adapts to how security teams already think. It transforms natural-language intent into structured, explainable security logic, enabling teams to move from questions to answers with greater speed and clarity.

From Noise to Clarity, Across the Platform

Choppy AI introduces purpose-built AI experiences across the Upwind platform, each focused on simplifying a critical part of the security journey – from discovery, to policy creation, to investigation:

Reimagining Inventory Exploration

Understanding what exists in a cloud environment – and how it is connected – should not require expert-level query building. With Choppy AI in the Upwind Inventory module, users can explore assets using natural language. By describing what they’re looking for in free text, users can generate structured, fully editable Query Builder expressions. Every condition is visible, and every query can be refined, saved, and reused. 

The Impact: through Choppy AI, teams gain speed without sacrificing precision, and complexity becomes understandable rather than hidden.

Making Policy Creation More Human

Security policy is where intent becomes enforcement, yet expressing that intent has traditionally been difficult and time-consuming. Choppy AI brings natural-language rule creation into the Configuration module, making it easier to define what “secure” means across dynamic environments.

• Configuration rules allow teams to describe desired configuration states in plain language, which Choppy AI translates into transparent, editable Rego-based rules for detecting misconfigurations.
• Graph rules allow teams to express relationship-driven logic – such as exposure paths and contextual risk, which Choppy AI converts into structured graph queries.

The Impact: Through Choppy AI, policy creation becomes faster, more consistent, and easier to maintain, without losing rigor or control.

A New Way to Investigate Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability management often fails not because of a lack of data, but because of a lack of context. Choppy AI introduces an AI Mode in Upwind’s Vulnerability module, enabling teams to investigate vulnerabilities through conversation. In AI Mode, Users can ask questions, follow up iteratively, and explore findings naturally. Choppy AI responds based on the customer’s real environment, correlating vulnerability data with asset context and exposure paths to surface what truly matters.

The impact: Through Choppy AI, Upwind enables teams to move from long lists of vulnerabilities to meaningful prioritization, faster.

AI Built for Trust and Control

Choppy AI reflects a deliberate design choice: AI should simplify security without obscuring it. Across the platform, every AI-generated query and rule remains fully visible and editable, ensuring teams always understand the logic behind the results. Decisions are grounded in real, environment-specific context rather than generic assumptions, and security teams remain firmly in control at every step. This approach allows AI to accelerate workflows while preserving the trust, accountability, and confidence that security demands.

The Future of Cloud Security Interaction

Choppy AI represents a shift in how security teams interact with cloud security platforms. By replacing friction with clarity and complexity with understanding, Choppy AI enables teams to focus on what matters most: reducing real risk in real environments. With Choppy AI, Upwind is setting a new standard for clarity at cloud scale.
