We’re excited to announce that Upwind now supports the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmark for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), helping security and compliance teams move faster with ongoing posture checks, active threat detection, and automated enforcement. With this release, customers can apply the same runtime-aware compliance capabilities already used across frameworks such as HIPAA, […]

Most cloud security platforms are built on static assumptions – scanning code, configs, and assets to guess where risk might exist. At Upwind, we took a fundamentally different approach: we built our platform on runtime. By capturing real-time signals directly from the kernel, Upwind delivers deep, continuous visibility into how workloads, APIs, identities, and data actually […]

One of Upwind’s core advantages begins the moment runtime data is collected. That’s the moment teams stop guessing and start securing based on what’s actually happening in their clusters. From there, they gain meaningful visibility into workload behavior, identify real risks, and apply security policies based on observed activity rather than assumptions. To help teams […]

In cloud security, visibility without prioritization creates noise – and that’s why ever aspect of our product is designed to bring actionable value. For this reason, we are excited to announce enhancements to the the Upwind Home Dashboard, making it even easier to immediately understand the state of an environment and which security findings should […]

Gartner has released the 2025 CNAPP Market Guide. According to Gartner: “​​while numerous providers exist, only a handful offer a comprehensive platform with the required breadth and depth of functionality, particularly emphasizing seamless integration through the development and operations processes.” We believe that Upwind’s inclusion in this group of vendors is a significant milestone. To […]

Sensitive data is the crown jewel of every organization and the primary target for attackers. But in modern cloud environments, it’s increasingly difficult to answer key questions, like, “Where is our data? How is it used? What’s putting it at risk?” Consider the example shown below – an organization has security tooling in place, but […]

Cloud Security should be effortless to deploy, seamless to operate, and architected for maximum efficiency. We are excited to announce that we have made groundbreaking technological advancements to Upwind Agentless Cloud Scanners — the technology that powers Upwind Agentless and Sensor-based scanning — resulting in industry-leading performance and accuracy. Starting today, Upwind Scanners 2.0 are […]

From an idea in stealth to acquisition — the journey of NYX and the future with Upwind Fourteen months ago, my partner Gili Yankovitch and I started working on a bold idea: what if we could help security & appsec teams with better prioritization of their risks and detect not just what code should run, […]

Cloud-native infrastructure has become more dynamic and distributed, but application behavior at runtime remains one of the most overlooked aspects of cloud security. Attackers increasingly exploit logic flaws and runtime gaps that static analysis can’t catch. Following our acquisition of Nyx in April 2025, we’ve now fully integrated its technology into the Upwind platform. This […]

As enterprises race to integrate GenAI and AI-powered applications, security leaders are confronting a new class of threats. Traditional tools weren’t built for the dynamic, high-risk nature of AI workloads. AI workloads introduce new capabilities, along with new risks. They dramatically increase the cloud attack surface by running code that adapts in real time, often […]
