Upwind adds automated cloud attack containment for customers

Upwind introduced Response on November 12, making automated attack containment available to all its customers. In a contributed announcement, the company says the capability blocks an attacker's access to a targeted service at the cloud network level within seconds, without requiring an additional firewall. Response can also terminate malicious processes, restrict a compromised machine's cloud identity or isolate the machine while retaining a secure access tunnel. Security teams choose which threats trigger autonomous action and which require approval. Actions are temporary, visible and reversible, allowing customers to begin with human approval before enabling automatic responses.
