Upwind

Runtime-first CNAPP that ranks cloud risk from what is actually running, not from a static CVE dump.

Proof of life. Raised $250M Series B at a $1.5B valuation, January 2026

Upwind ships an eBPF-backed CNAPP that folds CSPM, CWPP, CDR, identity, and API security into one live map of cloud inventory. It uses runtime evidence to drop most of the theoretical vulnerability noise so teams fix the paths that are reachable in production. The 2026 Agentic Pack adds investigation and validation agents on top of that same runtime fabric.
