Why join Upwind Security?

This could be huge if cloud and AI security become one platform that enterprises trust to watch every workload, agent and API in real time. Upwind Security, a cloud security company in San Francisco, closed a $300M Series C that beat 81% of comparable rounds, backed by TCV and Salesforce Ventures. All 100 open roles were posted in the last 30 days, 43 of them in sales.
