Upwind

Cloud Security

The Upwind connector integrates with Upwind Security, a cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) that combines cloud security posture management (CSPM), workload protection, cloud identity, application and API security, and runtime threat detection. Upwind builds a live inventory of cloud resources and correlates findings using runtime context to prioritize the risks that matter.

The connector synchronizes cloud resources (hosts and API endpoints), vulnerability, configuration/CSPM, and runtime threat findings along with their corresponding definitions, and cloud identities (members and groups). It authenticates using OAuth 2.0 client credentials against Upwind's regional API and normalizes each record into the Brinqa Unified Data Model.
