Upwind Security, founded in 2022, is a cloud security platform that uses real-time runtime data to protect cloud infrastructure. The company was established by the team behind Spot.io, which was acquired by NetApp. Its platform takes an "inside-out" approach, bridging intelligence from runtime to build-time to secure cloud environments.
The platform integrates several security capabilities, including Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), Data Security Posture Management (DSPM), Cloud Workload Protection Platform (CWPP), Cloud Detection and Response (CDR), API security, vulnerability management, identity security, and container security. It leverages eBPF technology to collect runtime data across these domains.
Upwind reports a 95% reduction in security noise and a tenfold improvement in threat response speed for its users. The company serves hundreds of enterprise customers worldwide and targets teams working in cloud infrastructure and enterprise security, aiming to reduce friction for developers, security engineers, and DevOps teams.
