- Threat activity has shifted to the application layer (APIs, prompts, agent calls), away from traditional runtime monitoring.
- A critical inventory problem exists due to numerous ways to consume AI in the cloud, often without security visibility.
- Upwind's AI inventory maps relationships, dependencies, and risks between AI components.
- Supply chain scanning is being rearchitected to handle the increased velocity and complexity of AI-generated code.
- Upwind plans to secure AI endpoints where prompts and responses interact with the network.
