Upwind
Runtime-first cloud security platform
About Upwind
Upwind is a cloud security platform that focuses on runtime protection, providing real-time visibility into cloud deployments, configurations, and applications. By taking a runtime-first approach, Upwind enables organizations to detect and respond to threats as they occur, rather than relying solely on pre-deployment scanning. The platform unifies various security functions into a single fabric, aiming to reduce complexity and improve security posture. Upwind is designed for modern cloud-native environments, supporting containers, Kubernetes, and serverless workloads. With its inside-out visibility, it helps security teams identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and active threats in real time. AiDOOS enhances the deployment and adoption of Upwind by providing expert guidance and managed services, ensuring that organizations can effectively integrate Upwind into their existing security workflows and maximize their cloud security investment.
