Upwind

Upwind is a cloud and AI security platform (CNAPP) that secures cloud infrastructure, workloads, and applications in real time — spanning cloud security posture management (CSPM), vulnerability management, container and Kubernetes security, API security, data security posture management (DSPM), identity and entitlements (CIEM), and incident response. Its Management REST API (v1 and v2) exposes threats, vulnerabilities, configurations, cloud accounts, inventory graph search, access management, and webhook integrations, secured with OAuth 2.0 client credentials and served from US, EU, and ME regional endpoints. Backed by Craft Ventures and Greylock.

Upwind publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including access-management API, api-security API, cloud-accounts API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Security, Cloud Security, CNAPP, Vulnerability Management, and Container Security.

The Upwind catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Upwind’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, and 28 more developer resources.
