Case Study: Spacelift achieves real-time container visibility and faster incident response with Upwind Security

Spacelift Enhances Container Security and Incident Response with Upwind’s Custom-Built gVisor Visibility

Spacelift, an infrastructure-as-code platform, faced a significant challenge in securing its multi-tenant environment. The company used gVisor for strong container isolation, but this sandboxing technology severely limited visibility into runtime activity, making security monitoring and incident response extremely difficult. To overcome this, Spacelift partnered with cloud security vendor Upwind.

Upwind implemented a custom-built solution by developing support for gVisor, providing Spacelift with deep process-level visibility into its isolated containers without compromising security. This enabled the team to detect and respond to incidents in minutes instead of hours, drastically reducing investigation times and allowing for immediate action against malicious processes. The partnership with Upwind transformed Spacelift's security posture, moving them beyond compliance to achieve real-time, runtime-powered protection for their platform and customers.
