Collaboration unites Upwind’s runtime-first cloud security platform with Coalfire’s FastRAMP accelerator to speed secure, compliant cloud adoption for US federal agencies

Upwind, a next-generation cloud security provider, announced a strategic partnership with Coalfire, a leading FedRAMP cybersecurity advisor and assessor, to accelerate federal agencies’ adoption of modern cloud security. Together, the companies are pursuing a FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency designation, clearing the way for civilian agencies to deploy Upwind’s comprehensive runtime-first Cloud Native Application Platform (CNAPP) while meeting strict compliance standards.

FedRAMP Moderate Equivalency is the US government’s benchmark for unlocking cloud adoption across most civilian agencies. By teaming with Coalfire and leveraging its FastRAMP accelerator, Upwind is helping agencies avoid the lengthy delays that have historically slowed the Authorization to Operate (ATO) process.

“The race to secure sensitive, rapidly evolving cloud environments has never been more critical, as public sector agencies are expected to deliver secure platforms, protect sensitive government workloads, and embrace innovations like AI, all while the threat actors grow more sophisticated,” said Amiram Shachar, CEO & Co-founder at Upwind. “Partnering with Coalfire accelerates our path to FedRAMP certification, enabling government agencies to adopt runtime-first security sooner and stay ahead of threats in today’s complex, high-stakes cloud landscape.”

Meeting the dual challenge of compliance and complexity

This partnership comes at a time when federal agencies are under mounting pressure to secure increasingly complex, AI-driven cloud environments while meeting stringent compliance requirements. Upwind’s comprehensive CNAPP unifies posture management, workload protection, threat detection, vulnerability management, and identity security, into one platform, giving security teams the visibility and speed to address threats as they emerge. The platform delivers runtime-first powered protection across applications, workloads, and infrastructure, giving security teams unmatched visibility and the agility to respond quickly.
