Upwind Security Integration

The Jit-Upwind integration empowers you to enhance your security posture by seamlessly importing Upwind’s runtime vulnerability findings into your security workflows.
By combining Upwind’s real-time risk context with Jit’s security automation, you can prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual exploitability and ensure your most critical assets remain protected.

Integration Capabilities

  • Runtime Risk Context: Ingest Upwind’s findings, enriched with runtime context such as exploitability, internet exposure, and production impact.
  • Contextual Prioritization: Leverage Upwind’s insights to prioritize vulnerabilities that pose real-world risks.
  • Unified Security Workflow: Address vulnerabilities alongside other security findings in Jit’s unified platform.
