Our take

Cybersecurity monitoring and threat prevention has never been so crucial for cloud computing. The number and severity of breaches has been increasing over recent years, and nearly 80% of senior cybersecurity staff consider the cybersecurity posture of their businesses to be insufficient. Uptycs has been developing a solution.

The Uptycs telemetry-powered dashboard allows cybersecurity professionals to continuously monitor across all attack surfaces, looking for standard compliance and vulnerabilities or misconfigurations that could lead to security breaches.

It’s a solution that clearly chimes with current market demand. Elevated cyberthreats over the past three years have pushed organizations to pour more investment into protection. Enough of it has gone Uptycs’ way for the company to boast consecutive years of triple-digit growth over this period.

With new funding under its belt, Uptycs is continuing to pad out its offering with relevant and crucial tools - like its addition of entitlement management capabilities and enhanced tools for freight container security. This kind of rapid adaptation will keep Uptycs keenly relevant in the swiftly evolving cybersecurity sector.
