We are on a mission to secure the cloud for the world.

We are building the world’s best cloud security platform. Upwind was founded by the team behind Spot.io, the world's first leader in cloud infrastructure optimization (acquired by NetApp). Upwind brings deep DevOps and cloud infrastructure experience to the forefront of cloud security, making it easy and simple to secure the cloud and AI.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast"

“Cloud is reshaping security. Securing modern cloud environments has become a challenge that spans across security, engineering, and DevOps teams. Our strategy is simple: we listen and work closely with our customers to build the best cloud security product on the planet.”

“Cloud security is already one of the largest and fastest growing segments in cybersecurity, and Upwind stood out to us as the right team with the right product in the right time building for where the market is going. Their modern, runtime-first approach, focus on signal over noise, and battle-tested founding team have translated into a company and product that are trusted and loved by security, engineering and platform (DevOps) teams, and used as a true platform. We’re very proud to partner with Upwind as they build the runtime-first cloud security platform for the next generation of enterprises.”

In the opposite direction to that in which the wind is blowing; against the wind.

In windsurfing, “Upwind” is a basic technique that allows surfers to navigate toward where the wind is coming from and the key skill to come back to where you started.

As a runtime security platform, Upwind enables security professionals to navigate effectively toward the root cause of security issues. Providing a powerful context of applications and infrastructure behavior despite the head wind of cloud chaos and alerting noise.

“Greylock co-led the largest seed round we have ever participated in for a software company in Upwind for two simple reasons — securing cloud runtime environments is the single most important problem in cybersecurity, and the Upwind team is a successful repeat entrepreneurial team who’s one of the absolute best we’ve ever backed.”

"Thrilled to partner with Amiram from day 0, and build an important cloud security company in one of the fastest-growing, most innovation-hungry markets we’ve seen - shaped by cloud scale and AI velocity."
