Upwind Welcomes Chief Security Officer Rinki Sethi

Over the past year, Upwind has grown faster than we could have imagined. As companies race to secure dynamic cloud environments and GenAI workloads, it’s clear that the old ways of doing security with static tools, reactive alerts, fragmented context – just don’t work anymore.

That’s why I’m so excited to welcome Rinki Sethi as our new Chief Security Officer.

Rinki isn’t just one of the most respected security leaders in the industry, she’s someone who’s lived the challenges that CISOs face every day. She’s led global security programs at some of the world’s leading companies, and she’s been in the trenches during high-stakes incidents. She knows what it takes to secure complex environments at scale, and how painful it is to rely on tools that weren’t built for the way modern infrastructure operates.

Long before this role, Rinki was actually a customer. She saw Upwind in action and understood the potential right away: real-time context, runtime visibility, and actionable insight that security teams can use for more secure and efficient operations.

Having Rinki on board brings the practitioner’s voice directly into our leadership team. She’ll be leading our InfoSec and Tech functions internally, and also partnering with me on product strategy, go-to-market, and customer advocacy – making sure everything we build is grounded in the real-world challenges our customers face.

This is a big milestone for Upwind. We’re not just building a product – we’re building the future of cloud and AI security.

Rinki, we’re lucky to have you.

Up and Up!

Amiram.

AI Will Make Software More Secure. The Transition Won’t Be Pretty

I believe AI is going to make us much more secure. But probably not tomorrow. In fact, I think the next two years may be exactly the opposite: attackers will have the upper hand before defenders eventually turn the economics of cybersecurity in their favor. For decades, we have built software with vulnerabilities and then…

Vulnerability Management Requires Real-Time Intelligence

Security teams aren't short on data. But they’re often short on context and time. The average vulnerability management program is buried in alerts, running on scan results that are hours or days old, and facing both savvy and unskilled attackers that can leverage AI to develop sophisticated exploits in minutes. That combination is why backlogs…

Upwind Launches Malware Scanning for Cloud Storage Across AWS, Azure, and GCP

Cloud object storage plays a central role in modern applications. Buckets are used to store application assets, exchange files, manage backups, build data pipelines, and share information across services and teams. That flexibility also makes object storage an attractive attack vector. A malicious file uploaded to a bucket can introduce risk into downstream applications, workloads,…
