Too many security tools create friction – forcing you to choose between speed and safety, or bolting on yet another dashboard. Integrating security tools shouldn’t slow you down; it should make your pipeline smarter, faster, and safer. Upwind is designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing DevSecOps workflow, enhancing visibility and control without disrupting your current tools or processes.
Upwind integrates with your existing CI/CD, alerting, and SIEM tools:
- Full multicloud CSPM coverage (including serverless)
- Runtime-aware CI/CD security that reduces false positives
- Real-time alerts, automated tickets, and SIEM exports
This provides all the insights you need, with no disruption to how you work.
This article walks through how Upwind fits into each phase of the DevSecOps lifecycle:
- Plan: Define security goals and identify risks early with Upwind’s cloud-agnostic CSPM and real-time insights—even across serverless.
- Build & Deploy: Integrate security into your CI/CD pipelines with Upwind Shift Left, bringing runtime context to build-time decisions and reducing false positives.
- Operate & Monitor: Strengthen production security with real-time alerts, smart integrations into ticketing, messaging, and SIEM platforms, and actionable insights based on live system behavior.
Whether you’re mapping architecture, shipping code, or responding to alerts, Upwind delivers high-fidelity security without slowing you down. It meets you where you are – before, during, and after deployment – so your team stays protected without missing a beat.
“Upwind has been a game changer for our security team.”

Plan: Cloud-Agnostic CSPM for Early Risk Visibility
During the planning phase, DevSecOps teams define security objectives and assess potential risks. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) plays a critical role here, enabling teams to detect misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues before they become real threats.
Upwind supports this phase with:
1. Cloud-Agnostic Support
Upwind is fully cloud-agnostic. Whether you’re running on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, OCI, on-prem or all of the above, Upwind provides full CSPM coverage, including a “Bring Your Own Cloud” model. For example, our customer Cogniteam uses Upwind to detect threats in real time across all major cloud platforms, including their Oracle Cloud infrastructure.
2. Full Visibility Into Serverless
Serverless environments often present blind spots for traditional agent-based tools, which rely on access to the underlying node layer – something serverless simply doesn’t expose. Upwind solves this using the Upwind Tracer, which delivers the same deep, real-time insights as other deployment models, into:
Build & Deploy: Shift Left With Runtime-Aware CI/CD Integration
In the Build and Deploy phases, the goal is to shift security left thereby integrating it earlier in the software delivery lifecycle. To enable this shift, Upwind brings runtime intelligence to your CI/CD pipelines, helping you prioritize real risks and reduce noise.
CI/CD Integrations with Runtime Context
Upwind integrates directly into your pipelines, including:
- GitHub Actions
- Jenkins
- CircleCI
- Argo CD
Once integrated, Upwind enables you to detect exploitable vulnerabilities in new builds, prioritize issues based on runtime exposure, and block high-risk builds before they deploy.
Why it matters: Most CI/CD security tools rely on static analysis. Upwind adds runtime context, helping you avoid false positives – like flagging a vulnerable package that’s never actually invoked – and surfacing only actionable threats.
Operate & Monitor: Real-Time Detection and Automated Workflows
Once your applications are live, the operate and monitor phases focus on maintaining secure, stable systems in production. Upwind enhances these stages with integrations that connect directly into the tools you already use for incident response and visibility.
Jira Integration: Streamline Threat Tracking
Automatically generate Jira tickets from vulnerability and threat findings in Upwind. This ensures issues are routed to the right team with full context for faster triage.
How to enable:
Go to Settings > Integrations in the Upwind Console, and click “Connect” under Jira.
Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty, OpsGenie, and More: Real-Time Alerts Where You Work
Upwind sends security alerts directly into your notification tools – but only when a vulnerability is confirmed to be exploitable or exposed based on runtime context. This dramatically reduces noise and ensures your team focuses on real threats that demand action.
SIEM Integration: Enrich Logs with Runtime Context
Upwind integrates with SIEM platforms like Splunk and Datadog, exporting real-time telemetry and threat data. This ensures your security operations workflows benefit from runtime context alongside your broader observability stack. Teams can export vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and runtime events directly into their SIEM, making it easier to correlate findings, streamline investigations, and generate reports without switching tools.
With this integration, Upwind helps security teams cut through the noise and act on what’s actually happening in production – bringing clarity and speed to your incident response and threat analysis processes.

Upwind doesn’t just fit into your DevSecOps pipeline – it enhances it at every stage:
- Plan: Gain CSPM coverage across all cloud environments, including serverless.
- Build & Deploy: Shift security left with runtime-aware CI/CD integration.
- Operate & Monitor: Act faster with automated alerts, tickets, and SIEM exports.
Security should support your workflow – not disrupt it. And the key to that is Upwind’s runtime-first approach: it gives you real-world insight into how your cloud environment actually behaves, helping you prioritize what matters, cut the noise, and act with confidence.
