Upwind Cloud Detection and Response

What it is
Upwind Cloud Detection and Response is a web-based security service for monitoring threats across multiple cloud environments. Its coverage includes cloud control-plane activity, workloads, identities, and containers. Control-plane detection addresses management-layer activity, while workload detection focuses on running workloads. Identity threat detection covers risks involving identities, and container detection covers containerized environments. The service also includes automated response, so detected issues can lead to response actions rather than alerts alone. Upwind presents the product for multi-cloud deployments, making it relevant to organizations with activity spread across more than one cloud provider. The listed platform is web, and the pricing model is paid with pricing available on request. The capability set centers on combining several detection areas with response automation in one service. Buyers can assess whether control-plane, workload, identity, and container visibility match their cloud security scope, then request pricing for their environment.
