What a special week. 💙 There’s something rare about bringing the entire team together in one place. Not just on long zoom calls, or slack threads, but actually together and in-person. Debating ideas, challenging each other, laughing, building. Next Wave SKO wasn’t just a kickoff. It was a moment to zoom out and recognize what this team has built, and the responsibility that comes with it. Cloud security is entering a new era. AI-driven systems. Real-time infrastructure. Environments that shift by the second. Security has to move with that same precision and speed. That’s the wave we’re building for: cloud security for the AI & real-time era. What stood out most in Maui wasn’t just the sessions. It was the people. When we asked Upwinders what they love most about being here, the answer kept coming back to the same thing, each other. That humility. That trust. That shared belief in what we’re building. Maui reminded us why we move upwind in the first place. Grateful for the week. Grateful for the best team of Upwinders. Grateful for the customers that continue to inspire us and push us to keep building. From our Upwind family, get ready for our Next Wave. 🌊 Up & Up.

SKO 2026. Maui. The theme this year was simple: The Next Wave. And it’s here. Cloud security is entering a new era. AI is expanding the attack surface in real time. Static visibility isn’t enough anymore. At Upwind, we’re building for what’s ahead - not what’s already happened. Cloud Security for the AI & Real-Time Era isn’t just a tagline. It’s the shift we’re seeing every day with customers. What stood out most this week wasn’t just the growth. It was the alignment. Hearing directly from CISOs. Watching the roadmap come to life. The vision is clear. Now it’s about execution. When product, engineering, and sales move in the same direction, momentum compounds. And if there’s one reminder from this week: Fall in love with the journey. Because when you’re building something meaningful with the right people, that’s where the real win is. Proud of this team. Excited for what’s ahead. UP & UP! 🏄♂️ #Upwind #CloudSecurity #CNAPP #AI #RuntimeSecurity

API security belongs in CNAPP. Not in another silo. Not in another dashboard. Not in another tool you have to correlate manually. The 2026 Latio Application Security Report recognized Upwind as the first platform to meaningfully combine API security with a traditional CNAPP, naming us an innovator in both runtime and API security. As James Berthoty put it: “Upwind is redefining what modern cloud application security looks like… unifying cloud, workload, and API telemetry through a runtime-first architecture… delivering end-to-end detection with the real-time context security teams need to act decisively.” APIs don’t operate in isolation. They run inside workloads, communicate over networks, and inherit cloud identity and exposure. So why secure them in isolation? We dynamically discover APIs at runtime, test them using real network behavior, and prioritize vulnerabilities at the function level, focusing only on what’s actually executing in production. One runtime-powered CNAPP. One real-time view. Thank you Latio for the recognition 💙 Want to learn more about our approach to API Security? Check out the link via comments. Up & Up! 🌊

Upwind Security’s sales kick off in Maui…unforgettable…and not just because the island lost power for 24 hours. 🤣🏝️🏄🏽♀️ In all seriousness, watching this company grow from just a few people a few years ago to hundreds today is surreal. What stands out even more is the caliber of talent. The intensity. The ownership. The energy….just WOW. This team is different. Upwind isn’t just growing. We’re building something category defining. The ambition is real. The execution is sharper than ever. And the bar we’re setting for ourselves this year is on another level. Proud of how far we’ve come. Even more excited about what we’re about to do next! 🌊🚀🔥 Amiram Shachar Aviv Globman Tal Zur Lavi Ferdman Tomer Hadassi Max Stevens Pat Murphy Chas Larios Dan Yahav Moran Sher Ronat Elliott Robinson Michael Robinson Saam Motamedi Omri Casspi Gideon Hayden Gili Raanan Bryant Barr Morgan Gerlak

Two and a half years ago, we entered the CNAPP market with a simple belief: cloud security should be grounded in runtime truth. Since then, we’ve been fortunate to see consistent recognition from independent analysts across CNAPP, container security, CADR, and cloud security categories. We’re incredibly grateful for that validation, but even more grateful for the customers who trust us to protect their environments every day. Everything we’ve built is shaped by real-world cloud complexity, real feedback, and real runtime challenges. Seeing that work resonate in the market means a lot. Thank you to our customers, partners, and team for pushing this category forward with us. We're proud to be building the CNAPP for the AI & real-time era. Up & Up 🌊
