Upwind Appoints Rinki Sethi as Chief Security Officer to Accelerate the Runtime Security Revolution
PRNewswire San Francisco (California) [US], June 12: Upwind, the runtime-first cloud security platform, announced today the appointment of cybersecurity industry leader Rinki Sethi as Chief Security Officer. In this role, Sethi will lead Upwind's global Information Security and Technology functions, while also helping drive company-wide strategy across marketing, go-to-market, and customer engagement--accelerating the adoption of runtime security across the enterprise. Sethi joins Upwind at a defining moment for the industry and for the company. Following 4,000% YoY revenue growth in 2024, 40% customer expansion and more than 30 product updates in Q1 2025, Upwind has become a formidable challenger to legacy CNAPP vendors by delivering what others can't: real-time, runtime-first detection, and protection across every layer of the cloud stack. A recognized cybersecurity executive and board member, Sethi brings over two decades of experience building and scaling security programs at companies such as Twitter, BILL, Rubrik, Walmart, IBM, Palo Alto Networks, and eBay/PayPal, while serving on the boards of Vaultree and ForgeRock. She is also a founding partner at Lockstep Ventures, where she invests in the next generation of cybersecurity innovation and disruption. As one of Upwind's early customers, Sethi brings a unique perspective from both the customer and boardroom lens--making her a natural fit to help lead the company's next phase of growth. "Rinki is one of the most respected CISOs in the world, and her decision to join Upwind is a major signal of where the future of cloud security is headed," said Amiram Shachar, CEO and co-founder of Upwind. "She was one of the first to recognize that runtime context transforms how we secure the cloud. Now, she'll help scale that vision globally with the technical depth, customer empathy, and executive horsepower to match." Unlike traditional cloud security tools that rely on static rules and fragmented signals, Upwind delivers a unified CNAPP platform that combines agentless visibility with eBPF-powered runtime detection. By integrating CSPM, CWPP, CDR, vulnerability management, and identity security into a single platform, and grounding it all in live runtime activity, Upwind helps security teams focus on what matters and act before threats become incidents. Customers report up to 95% fewer alerts and dramatically faster time-to-remediation. "As a CISO, I lived the pain of chasing dashboards while incidents unfolded in real-time," said Rinki Sethi, Chief Security Officer of Upwind. "Upwind is the first platform I've seen that flips the model, from reactive noise to real-time decisions. As an early customer, I experienced how powerful it is to operate with full runtime context. That's why I'm joining Upwind, to help build the future I always wanted as a practitioner." Sethi holds a bachelor's degree in Computer Science Engineering from UC Davis and a master's degree in Information Security from Capella University. She is a widely recognized industry voice, passionate mentor, and advocate for women in security. Outside of work, she's a mom of two, a fitness enthusiast, and an active supporter of startups shaping the next wave of cybersecurity innovation. About Upwind Upwind is the next-generation cloud security platform that helps organizations run faster and more securely. Designed for today's dynamic, cloud-native environments, Upwind combines cloud security posture with real-time runtime context to deliver actionable protection across the entire application lifecycle. Founded by Amiram Shachar and the team behind (acquired by NetApp for $450M), Upwind is backed by Greylock, Cyberstarts, Leaders Fund, Craft Ventures, Cerca Partners, Penny Jar (founded by NBA star Steph Curry), and Sheva (founded by NBA player Omri Casspi). The company has raised $180M since its founding in 2022.

LenDenClub hosts AI Hackathon powered by AWS to Develop Alternative Scoring Models and Close Credit Gap for the Underserved
PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 12: In a move to make credit more accessible and convenient for India's underserved segment and call for innovation, LenDenClub, the country's largest peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform, is set to host its flagship 48-hour offline AI Hackathon powered by AWS, Bureau, Sign 3, and Mobilewalla. The hackathon, Matrix Protocol aims to develop alternative credit scoring models, is scheduled from June 13-15, 2025 at LDC's corporate headquarters in Malad, Mumbai. It is focused on developing innovative, real-world solutions that can power new-age credit assessment frameworks for the country's credit-invisible population, a step that could significantly reshape the future of financial inclusion. Aligned with the Government's goal to improve credit assessment and facilitate access to formal credit, this initiative supports the broader mission of bringing more individuals into the formal lending ecosystem and accelerating economic growth in rural communities. With millions of individuals in India still far from the formal credit segment, this effort would be vital to bridging the gap and building a more inclusive financial future. The event has generated immense enthusiasm, drawing over 1,800 participants from across India and beyond, including countries such as Australia, Brazil, Germany, Nepal, Peru, and Saudi Arabia. After a rigorous screening process, the top 150 problem-solvers have been selected to participate in this exclusive innovation sprint. Entrants hail not just from tech and engineering, but also from life sciences, business, and arts backgrounds, fostering diverse, practical, and human-centric AI solutions. The talent pool includes students and professionals from prestigious institutes such as IITs, NITs, IIMs, ISI, and others, as well as industry professionals from top global organisations including Cognizant, Morgan Stanley, Tech Mahindra, IDFC FIRST Bank, Aditya Birla Capital, EXL, Vodafone Idea, Oracle, JPMorgan Chase, and MLExperts AI. Participants will solve two critical problem statements that reflect India's unique lending ecosystem: 1. AI-Powered Income Estimation Model: Building intelligent models to assess the income potential of individuals who lack formal credit histories--creating new pathways to responsible lending for the underserved. 2. Emotionally Intelligent Voicebot: Designing a humanised voice assistant capable of detecting tone, emotion, and intent, enabling natural, empathetic borrower interactions far beyond scripted customer service bots. Commenting on the hackathon, Dipesh Karki, Co-Founder & CTO, LenDenClub stated: "A large section of India's population remains outside the formal credit system simply because traditional credit scoring models fail to capture their true earning potential or financial behaviour. We already have a few models to assess small and marginal borrowers. However, with this hackathon we are trying young minds to use creative ideas to think about new solutions for this complex problem." With a total prize pool of ₹4 lakhs, and powered by key sponsors, the hackathon will act as a crucible for AI innovation that could impact millions who remain outside the scope of formal credit systems today. About LenDenClub: LenDenClub is India's leading peer-to-peer (P2P) lending platform, transforming the way people lend and borrow money. Established in 2015, we've grown rapidly to become a trusted name in the industry, connecting lenders seeking attractive interest rates with borrowers looking for quick, hassle-free loan solutions.
