Upwind is a runtime-powered cloud security platform that can help you detect and respond to cloud threats, vulnerabilities, and misconfigurations across your multi-cloud infrastructure.
Torq enables quick and easy integration with Upwind, so you can automate anything and everything within moments. Torq's public Upwind steps include:
List Detections
Create a Configuration Framework
Update a Cloud Account
Enable/Disable a Policy
+27 more...
If you don't see a step you need, you can create your own in various ways, such as using the Send an HTTP Request step or Torq's Step Builder, and share it across your organization.
