Upwind Security

What an incredible week in San Francisco at Microsoft Ignite! 🎉   We’re grateful to be part of a global security community that’s always learning, evolving, and building what’s next. 💙   Huge thanks to everyone who stopped by and shoutout to our team that brought Upwind to Ignite this year: Ariel Negrin, Lavi Ferdman, Jake Martens, Mia Wilhelm, Thomas Korf, Drew Khorasani, Brooke Bloomquist, Kyle Kriebel   Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

“Runtime security is on the rise and for good reason,” says Jiphun Satapathy, SVP & CISO at Medallia, in our latest CISO Firechat with Rinki Sethi. For CISOs navigating fast-moving cloud environments, static signals aren’t enough. You need to see what’s actually happening, right now in real time. Jiphun outlines three priorities for securing your runtime reality:  1. Identify which vulnerabilities are exploitable and help dev teams focus on what matters.  2. Understand how quickly an attacker could escalate privileges and track your dwell time.  3. Lock down credentials. They remain one of the most common entry points for compromise. “Real-time detection is only useful if you can respond in real time.” Watch the full conversation here 👉 https://lnkd.in/giSUbMVM Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

We’re proud to partner with Tines to help security teams cut through the noise of cloud alerts and respond to what matters, fast 💜   With Tines’ intelligent automation platform and Upwind’s real-time, runtime-powered insights, you can automatically detect, prioritize, and remediate critical cloud risks without custom code or manual workflows.   From catching publicly exposed S3 buckets to triggering Slack and Jira workflows, this integration helps you turn high-fidelity alerts into meaningful action, in real time.   What you can do with Tines + Upwind:   • Focus on real risks, not false positives   • Launch prebuilt, no-code automation templates   • Maintain continuous cloud hygiene with AI-powered workflows   • Streamline response and free up your team’s time We’re excited to bring together two platforms built for clarity, speed, and control.   Together, we’re helping organizations respond faster, reduce noise, and stay ahead of cloud risks with less manual work and more confidence. 🤝   Read more about our partnership 👉 https://lnkd.in/eunXxDQP   Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

Security alert fatigue is real. We found a better way. For years, security tooling meant floods of alerts without context. Engineers couldn't distinguish truly exploitable vulnerabilities from noise, making comprehensive security the slowest part of shipping features. Running a cloud-based data marketplace like Harbr Data requires understanding complete context - not just code, but infrastructure, service interactions, and data sensitivity across AWS, GCP, and Azure. Upwind Security's runtime-powered approach has been transformative, reducing alert noise by roughly 90% by focusing us first on exploitable risks. We now catch potential issues before they reach production. We've always been secure; now it's just faster and easier to know that with confidence. Just as Harbr makes data access and sharing straightforward while ensuring governance, Upwind has made security clearer and more efficient. The easy path is now the secure path. Thanks to Jonathan Chetrit , Yarin Pinyan , Artiom Petrov 🇮🇱 , and Amir Danilov for being exceptional partners who turn customer feedback into product features. #CloudSecurity #RuntimeSecurity #DevSecOps #DataGovernance

Another week, another round of events around the world. 🌍   In Madrid at the ISMS Forum’s 27th International Information Security Conference, Alberto Filisetti and Enrique Lopiz joined conversations around cloud resilience, sharing how real-time visibility and proactive defense can help security teams stay ahead of risk.   In Amsterdam, Jake Martens moderated a panel at Next IT Security, diving into the future of cloud security, regulatory trends, and what it really takes to stay resilient in 2026 and beyond.   Meanwhile in Dallas, Ben Engel, Chris Villanueva, and Matthew Mouton represented Upwind at Cyera’s DataSecAI Conference, where AI, threat detection, and secure cloud scaling were front and center.   Over in Arizona, Joe Cantieri ☁️ represented Upwind at the CAVA 2025 Tech Summit.   And at the Celtic Box during the Memphis Grizzlies game, Jack Fay and Ilya Wortman partnered up with Tines and Endor Labs for a great night of connection and courtside conversations.   Grateful for the conversations, the momentum, and the global security community showing up with real energy. These moments shape how we build. See you at the next stop. 💙   Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

From chasing wind as a kid to finding his flow on the world stage 🏄♂️   We’re back with Cash Berzolla for Part 2 of his Road to Gold story, diving into what happens after the dream starts to take shape.   It’s not just about the thrill of wing foiling or the rush of competition. It’s about the grind, the early mornings, and the mindset that keeps you coming back for more.   Together with our Co-Founder and CEO, Amiram Shachar, Cash talks about what it really takes to stay grounded. The same traits that fuel a great athlete, passion, discipline, and consistency, are the ones that drive building startups too.   Watch part two on Upwind TV: https://lnkd.in/giWAeCAN   Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️

This past weekend, we teamed up with Endor Labs in Atlanta for something a little different: an evening of lightsaber stunt training with the AppSec community!   It was fun night connecting with engineers, security leaders, and builders who bridge the gap between development and defense. We swapped dashboards for lightsabers, learned a few new “defense” moves, and had a great time connecting with the community.   Huge thanks to everyone who came out and made it such a memorable evening. 💙   Want to join us for more events like this? Keep an eye out for where Upwind is heading next. 👀   Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️ Austin Tatman Nathan Haskell

Drowning in vulnerability noise? You’re not alone. There’s a better way. Join us on December 3rd at 10 AM ET for a live webinar with security leaders from Madhive and Mendix as they share how they’re using Upwind to cut through the noise and focus on what’s actually exploitable, in real time. We’ll break down how they:  • Identify runtime-exploitable risks across large-scale environments  • Prioritize based on business impact, not scanner noise  • Operationalize risk reduction with real-world workflows Save your spot today: https://lnkd.in/gsJj3UTp Up & Upwind! 🏄♂️
