Uptycs is the leading cloud security platform for large hybrid cloud environments. We protect workloads wherever they run, while extending security visibility from development to runtime. That’s why enterprises like PayPal, Comcast, and Nutanix rely on Uptycs to secure their mission-critical workloads. First-generation CNAPP solutions don’t have all the data needed to manage and prioritize risk. With Uptycs, data is power! We have no trouble giving you deeper context so you can focus on what truly matters. Most CNAPPs can tell you if a vulnerable workload is exposed to the internet, but can they show you vulnerable packages running now, or three weeks ago, and if and how you were breached? Uptycs can. Uptycs brings teams together to optimize security operations, ensure compliance, and accelerate remediation across cloud workloads, containers, Kubernetes, and software pipelines – all from a single security console, policy framework, and data lake. Shift up your cybersecurity with Uptycs.
