Upwind Security has announced a new AI Sensor for Endpoints, expanding its platform beyond the cloud and into developer workstations—a place many security leaders now consider one of the fastest-growing attack surfaces in the age of AI.
The timing comes as enterprises increasingly deploy AI agents and Model Context Protocol, or MCP, connections, allowing AI tools to access cloud services and perform actions on behalf of users.
According to Upwind, that evolution means developer laptops are no longer just endpoints—they’ve become gateways into cloud environments, with AI agents capable of accessing applications, identities, and sensitive resources.
The company’s new AI Sensor is designed to give security teams a unified view of AI activity across both endpoints and cloud infrastructure, helping correlate developer activity, cloud identities, and AI-driven actions in real time.
Upwind CEO Amiram Shachar says protecting the cloud now requires understanding what begins on the endpoint, as AI workflows increasingly span both environments.
The announcement marks another example of cybersecurity vendors adapting their platforms to secure AI-native enterprise environments, where visibility across users, devices, and cloud infrastructure is becoming increasingly interconnected.
