Overview
Upwind is the runtime-powered cloud security platform that leverages runtime data to secure your cloud infrastructure. Upwind helps you mitigate the risks that actually matter and cut 95% of alert noise, identify the root causes of threats 10x faster and respond with context and automation.
Upwind’s solution maps out cloud infrastructure and resources, creating security baselines based on the cloud environment’s known, normal behavior while adding the context of CI/CD events, git/code changes, k8s audit logs, Azure activity logs, and cloud activities. By doing so, Upwind immediately distinguishes which vulnerabilities can be exploited, such as critical vulnerabilities that are in use, can be accessed by the Internet, and have paths to sensitive data. Upwind bridges intelligence from runtime to build-time, eliminating friction & boosting the productivity of your developers, security engineers, and DevOps.
Upwind’s cloud security platform provides a centralized solution that protects everything in the cloud, including CSPM, DSPM, CWPP, CDR, API security, vulnerability management, identity security, and container security. Upwind’s Vulnerability Management Feature prioritizes vulnerabilities in the environment, cutting through the noise and minimizing alerts by 95%, leaving security teams with the information they need to fix risks that could actually be exploited while ignoring those that don’t pose a threat to the organization.
Upwind follows a “right-to-left” approach, prioritizing the use of insights from infrastructure and application runtime data instead of static analysis. This approach streamlines security processes, saves time for security teams, and provides access to DevOps insights, which enhances the efficiency of both security and DevOps teams.
Key Capabilities / Features
Upwind protects everything you run in the cloud in one centralized platform, whose capabilities include posture management, data security, workload protection, real-time threat detection and response, API security, vulnerability management, identity security and container security. Upwind leverages both real-time data from your runtime environment and events throughout your build and deploy lifecycle, giving you an end-to-end view of your infrastructure and applications. By correlating this data and learning how your environment operates, we provide deep context into your most critical security issues.
Customers tell us that Upwind slashes vulnerability noise by 95%, prioritizes the risks that really matter and gets to root causes of threats 10 times faster.
How we are different
* Cyber attackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with common attack methods including brute force, command and control, spam, phishing, drive-by downloads, and crypto mining becoming commonplace for most enterprises. Cloud attacks are increasing in frequency and organizations need to know about potential risks as they arise and attacks the moment they occur, rather than finding out about them after the damage has been done.
* Upwind solves this by providing a consolidated cloud security solution that deploys in the cloud environment in 5 minutes and gives organizations complete visibility and protection, in real-time. By protecting against cloud attacks and detecting them the second they are attempted, Upwind enables organizations to automatically respond and stop attacks before they do any damage.
* Upwind’s solution also helps Security and Dev-Ops teams prioritize and focus on critical threats by enabling automatic root cause analysis, reducing 95% of “noise” caused by insignificant alerts and false positives, and helping security teams handle the threats that are actually exploitable.
