Upwind Security
Cloud security platform providing runtime protection and threat detection for cloud workloads and applications.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Upwind Security is an Israeli cybersecurity company founded in 2022 that provides runtime cloud security combining vulnerability detection, threat detection, and security posture management. The platform uses runtime insights and eBPF technology to provide real-time protection for cloud workloads with minimal performance impact.
Upwind addresses the gap between traditional cloud security tools that assess static configurations and the dynamic reality of running workloads. The platform monitors actual runtime behavior, detects threats in real-time, and provides context-aware risk prioritization based on what's actually exploitable in production environments.
Despite being recently founded, the company has achieved rapid growth and significant funding with a founding team from Wiz and other leading Israeli security companies. Upwind represents the latest generation of Israeli cloud security innovation.
