- Company Overview
Founded by cloud security veterans who saw firsthand how difficult securing multi-cloud environments can be, Upwind built their platform to address the real-world challenges security teams face: too many alerts, not enough context, and limited remediation resources. Their approach emphasizes practical solutions over endless alerts, helping teams actually improve security posture rather than just reporting problems.
- James’ Corner
Upwind has built a holistic CNAPP platform, with their runtime agent at the center of the action. Especially strong on the network side, they offer a good mix of static detections with anomaly for teams focused on getting a lot of value from a CNAPP.

- Demo Overview
- AI Generated
Yarin Pinyan demonstrates Upwind's runtime-first cloud security platform, which uses eBPF sensors to provide real-time visibility into network flows, API traffic, and application behavior across cloud and on-premises environments. The platform maps actual traffic patterns rather than relying solely on configuration data, enabling teams to see baseline behavior and detect deviations without depending on signatures or rules. Key features include threat detection based on behavioral baselines, API security without traffic mirroring, and response capabilities to kill malicious processes.
- Upwind is a Great Fit For:
Organizations running containerized applications and Kubernetes who need real-time threat detection. Perfect for security teams concerned about zero-day threats and sophisticated attacks that bypass preventative controls. Ideal for companies with dynamic, ephemeral workloads where traditional scanning approaches fall short. Especially valuable for businesses with multi-cloud environments requiring consistent runtime protection across all major cloud providers.
- Upwind Key Features
Upwind’s runtime security capabilities provide continuous monitoring of cloud workloads using advanced eBPF technology. Their platform detects suspicious processes, unauthorized syscalls, and network anomalies in real-time, with particular strength in containerized environments. They excel at process monitoring, identifying threats like management tool downloads, SSH sessions in containers, and modified binaries creating network connections. Their syscall analysis catches sophisticated attacks including raw socket creation, suspicious module loads, and remote code execution attempts.

- Who Should Use Upwind ?
DevOps-driven organizations who need security that keeps pace with rapid deployment cycles. Security teams overwhelmed by alerts who need better context and prioritization to focus their efforts. Companies concerned about supply chain attacks and runtime threats that traditional tools miss. Enterprises running Amazon EKS, AKS, or GKE who want specialized protection for their Kubernetes environments without performance impacts.
- Upwind Security Use Cases
Organizations deploy Upwind to protect containerized applications from runtime threats, secure Kubernetes clusters, and detect attacks in real-time. Security teams use the platform to monitor process behavior and network communications, quickly identifying malicious activity. DevOps teams integrate runtime security into CI/CD pipelines, while SOC analysts leverage the detailed forensics for faster incident response. The platform is particularly effective for protecting against zero-day threats, supply chain attacks, and sophisticated adversaries targeting cloud workloads.

- What Makes Upwind Different?
Upwind stands out with their runtime-first approach that catches threats traditional tools miss. Their eBPF-powered monitoring provides deep visibility into container behavior without performance impacts. They excel at detecting sophisticated attacks through process and syscall monitoring, providing earlier detection of malicious behavior. Their contextual analysis reduces alert fatigue by focusing on what matters, while their automated remediation capabilities help teams respond quickly to threats. Their upcoming threat detection orbital view and timeline features will further enhance visibility into attack patterns.
