We are Building the Future of Cloud Security: Simple, Integrated & Accessible to All
At Upwind, we’re on a mission to empower our customers to run cloud environments securely and efficiently, accelerating their businesses and focusing on what’s next. Founded by the team behind Spot.io, the world's leader in cloud infrastructure optimization (acquired by NetApp), we bring unmatched expertise in cloud infrastructure to the forefront of cybersecurity.
Securing modern cloud environments has become a challenge that spans across Dev, Sec, and Ops teams. Integrating context from runtime to build time breaks down silos, and every capability we build focuses on delivering results, not just more information. We unify insights and teams to provide robust & seamless cloud security.”
Why Upwind?
In the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind.
In windsurfing, “Upwind” is a basic technique that allows surfers to navigate toward where the wind is coming from and the key skill to come back to where you started.
As a runtime security platform, Upwind enables security professionals to navigate effectively toward the root cause of security issues. Providing a powerful context of applications and infrastructure behavior despite the head wind of cloud chaos and alerting noise.
