ZEST Security and Upwind have launched a new integration that bridges the gap between runtime threat detection and intelligent remediation, turning visibility into immediate, guided action. In dynamic cloud environments, security teams often struggle to move from identifying risks to resolving them efficiently. This integration aims to change that.
From Real-Time Insight to Intelligent Response
Upwind delivers deep runtime visibility across workloads, applications, APIs, and data flows. It surfaces actionable insights as threats unfold, helping security and DevOps teams focus on real risks—not alert fatigue. ZEST complements this with an automated remediation engine that evaluates response options and recommends the most effective fix—whether it’s code, a package update, or a policy-based control.
“ZEST is automatically aligning Upwind findings to resolution paths, eliminating the back and forth between security and other teams like DevOps and engineering,” said
Snir Ben Shimol, CEO and co-founder of ZEST Security. “Our AI agents are doing the heavy lifting—identifying the issue, validating the fix, and streamlining the response.”
How It Works
The integration connects via a pre-built API, with Upwind findings flowing directly into the ZEST platform. These are enriched with ownership details, contextualized, and prioritized by risk. From there, ZEST’s AI-powered resolution engine correlates issues to their origin and generates actionable guidance—delivered straight into existing DevOps and CI/CD workflows.
“Within minutes, runtime 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.”
The integration delivers end-to-end support for cloud security operations by combining deep visibility across cloud-native environments with real-time vulnerability detection. It generates resolution paths tailored to risk severity, ownership, and contextual factors, helping teams act with precision. Remediation is seamlessly embedded into existing CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows, while automated root cause analysis and code-level recommendations accelerate response. The solution also leverages existing controls and policy frameworks to ensure secure, compliant mitigation without disrupting established processes.
By aligning detection with guided response, the integration reduces mean time to remediation and minimizes handoffs. ZEST’s AI doesn’t just automate - it interprets, prioritizes, and optimizes every response to reduce exposure with minimal disruption.
Driving Continuous Security
Beyond real-time fixes, the integration supports a shift-left strategy. “Remediating issues as early as possible—ideally before they reach production—is essential,” Ben Shimol said. “But when risks do make it to runtime, this integration provides both the visibility and the speed to respond. Just as important, it feeds those lessons back into your security policies—strengthening posture over time.”
Supporting MSSPs and MSPs at Scale
For MSSPs and MSPs managing complex client environments, the integration helps standardize remediation across cloud and on-prem assets. “ZEST streamlines mitigation across cloud, software supply chains, and legacy systems—enabling providers to scale across architectures and compliance requirements,” Ben Shimol added.
