Cloudanix vs Upwind CNAPP

Cloudanix is a CNAPP that connects code security, cloud posture, workload protection, cloud identity, and just-in-time access in a shared security graph. Its cloud coverage includes AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI. Code security includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, IaC, and CI security; access features include CIEM and time-bound JIT access for cloud, databases, virtual machines, Kubernetes, and AI agents. Its database activity monitoring offering provides real-time masking, query prevention, and audit trails for cloud or on-premises databases. Cloud accounts connect through read-only APIs without agents, and Cloudanix advertises 30-minute onboarding. The company says its SaaS control plane stores configuration metadata rather than customer data or secrets, and that application-level encryption uses AES-256 GCM. Deployment options include regional SaaS tenants in the US, EU, India, and Middle East, or CloudPrem inside a customer's VPC. Paid plans start at $3.49 a month per monitored asset, with a 100-asset minimum for Cloud Pro Posture. Other listed Pro plans have minimums, and Enterprise prices are custom.

Upwind CNAPP brings application security, cloud security posture, and real-time protection together across the cloud lifecycle, from development through production. Agentless cloud scanners and runtime sensors build live inventory, identify exposures, and protect workloads as they run. Listed capabilities include CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AI-SPM, attack path analysis, vulnerability management, Kubernetes and serverless security, API security, DAST, and cloud detection and response. Upwind describes live inventory and high-signal exposure prioritization as ways to focus on exposures. The platform supports AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Oracle Cloud, and is available through web and API. Its integrations directory includes tools such as Jira, Slack, GitHub Actions, GitLab, and Argo CD, as well as ChatGPT, xAI Grok, OpenAI Enterprise, Anthropic Enterprise, and Claude. Upwind says stored data is protected with encryption, access controls, and authentication, and data in transit with TLS and HSTS. The Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and GDPR.
