The complexity of cloud environments and modern applications demands specialized, cloud-native solutions to effectively manage risk exposure. Security teams today benefit from deep, runtime-level visibility combined with the ability to rapidly remediate and mitigate identified risks. That’s why we’re excited to announce a new integration with Upwind to empower security and DevOps teams to identify, prioritize, and resolve cloud threats with unprecedented speed and scale.

Upwind provides deep, runtime intelligence that gives security teams complete visibility across workloads, applications, identities, data flows, and APIs. By surfacing real-time, actionable insights, Upwind helps security teams cut through the noise, reduce exposure, and detect cloud threats as they happen.
ZEST Security integrates seamlessly with Upwind, streamlining the process of taking action on Upwind findings. ZEST analyzes the full range of potential solutions and automatically generates the most efficient and effective resolution paths. Whether that be code-based remediation, high-impact patching, or mitigation using existing security controls and cloud-native services.
Together, ZEST and Upwind bridge the gap between risk identification and efficient remediation and mitigation – streamlining the entire process from end to end. Security teams can leverage Upwind for deep, real-time visibility and risk identification, then act quickly and intelligently with ZEST’s Agentic AI-generated resolution paths.
How the Integration Works
The ZEST Security and Upwind integration brings speed, precision, and automation to cloud security, application security, and vulnerability management – eliminating toil and streamlining the journey from visibility to action.
Getting started is simple. Simply generate API credentials in your Upwind account and connect them to ZEST using our pre-built connector. Within minutes, run-time findings from Upwind will populate in the ZEST platform – enriched with ownership, context, and prioritized remediation and mitigation paths powered by ZEST’s Agentic AI Resolution Engine.
Integration Highlights
- Deep runtime visibility across workloads, applications, identities, data flows, and APIs.
- Real-time identification of cloud vulnerabilities and risks.
- Agentic AI–generated resolution paths, delivering fully guided remediation and mitigation.
- Security as Code (SaC) through seamless integration with DevOps workflows.
- Automated root cause analysis, tracing risks back to code and generating replacement code.
- Risk mitigation using existing guardrails, controls, and policies to reduce exploitability, severity, and exposure.
