Upwind CNAPP Platform

Upwind's unified CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) integrates cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection, cloud detection and response, vulnerability management, and identity security, all grounded in live runtime activity. This runtime-first approach provides unprecedented visibility into what's actually running in cloud environments, enabling security teams to prioritize based on actual exploitability rather than theoretical risk. The platform leverages both real-time data from runtime environments and events throughout the build and deploy lifecycle, providing an end-to-end view of infrastructure and applications. Upwind maintains a Security Trust Center with comprehensive security documentation covering their layered security approach and shared responsibility model.

The platform's container security capabilities include real-time monitoring of containerized workloads, vulnerability detection grounded in runtime context, and protection across the entire container lifecycle. By focusing on runtime activity, Upwind dramatically reduces false positives with customers reporting up to 95% fewer alerts compared to traditional tools. The platform identifies root causes of threats 10x faster by correlating runtime data with CI/CD events, git/code changes, Kubernetes audit logs, Azure activity logs, and cloud activities. This allows Upwind to immediately distinguish which vulnerabilities can actually be exploited, such as critical vulnerabilities that are in use, accessible from the Internet, and have paths to sensitive data.

Upwind's technology enables faster time-to-remediation by prioritizing vulnerabilities based on actual runtime risk rather than theoretical CVSS scores, providing comprehensive coverage across Kubernetes environments, container registries, and cloud-native architectures. The platform provides 99.9% uptime commitment for the Core Service with priority support features for Enterprise Plan customers. With over 30 product updates in 2024 alone and recognition as a CSO Online Top 10 Promising Cybersecurity Startup, Upwind demonstrates rapid innovation velocity and strong market traction. The company has a Trust Center powered by Drata for security and compliance transparency.
