How TigerGate Works
TigerGate provides runtime security like Upwind, plus comprehensive CSPM, code security, and more—all in one unified platform
1. Comprehensive CSPM
Go beyond Upwind's basic cloud scanning with 576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes with automated remediation.
2. Complete Code Security
Unlike Upwind, TigerGate includes full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, IaC scanning, and DAST to secure your code before it reaches production.
3. eBPF Runtime Monitoring
Like Upwind, TigerGate uses eBPF for runtime monitoring, but adds real-time enforcement to actively block security violations using LSM BPF.
The TigerGate Advantage
Upwind provides cloud runtime context. TigerGate extends this with comprehensive CSPM, code scanning, runtime enforcement, and compliance automation—giving you complete security coverage from code to cloud.
- All Upwind runtime features + comprehensive CSPM + code security
- Runtime enforcement with LSM BPF (not just monitoring)
- Flexible deployment: SaaS, self-hosted, or on-premise
- Transparent pricing and predictable costs
