“After a thorough evaluation by our security engineering team, Uptycs was deployed on a large scale as a key component of our security posture. The Uptycs platform provides a broad set of security capabilities with instant endpoint and asset visibility that powers detection and response as well as compliance and governance.”

Leon Li

Vice President, Comcast Security

“As a cloud-based company running on AWS, finding a platform to solve all of our security needs across all of our accounts and services was a top priority. Finding a single solution that could solve for audit and inventory of our cloud assets, as well as endpoint detection and response, was a challenge — until we found Uptycs. Now we're able to do more with less, and save time, while maintaining a strong cloud security posture.”

Kevin Paige

CISO, Flexport

“We’ve been using Uptycs for security visibility, threat detection, and incident investigation across our Linux and MacOS fleet. Their audit and compliance analytics have been instrumental for our FedRAMP authorization and ISO 27001 certification.”

Grant Kahn

Director, Security Intelligence Engineering at Lookout

“We can detect really, really fast: 0.7 seconds from execution to detection, and 1.6 seconds from execution to case management alert. ”

Security Engineer, Global Financial Services Company

“Uptycs have been a bit of a revelation to me. Instead of ingesting logfiles and asking you to write IDS rules in a custom query language, they leverage osquery to expose your entire infrastructure as SQL. Everything you want to know or alert on is just as straight-forward as querying a database. It's fantastic.”

Dieter Van der Stock

Security Engineer
