A cloud security startup that focuses on a unified CNAPP approach, offering CSPM and CWPP capabilities.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Cloud security startup Upwind completed a $400 million Series C round at a post-money valuation of $3.8 billion after rejecting Datadog's acquisition offer.
Datadog's earlier acquisition offer for Upwind corresponded to a $3.8 billion valuation, the same as Upwind's post-money valuation in its new funding round.
Upwind's Series C round did not disclose the list of investors or specific terms.
In recent years, CSPM and CWPP capabilities have converged with the CNAPP (Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform) concept, with vendors tending to offer both configuration-side and runtime-side capabilities on the same platform, and Upwind focuses on this integrated approach.
Remaining independent means Upwind can continue to maintain partnerships with multiple cloud vendors and observability platforms without being tied to a single ecosystem.
