What is Upstream Security?

Upstream Security operates a cloud-native, agentless AI platform purpose-built for connected vehicles and mobility IoT. It ingests telematics, OTA, diagnostic, and dealership data to deliver cybersecurity detection and response (V-XDR), automotive threat intelligence, and data-driven applications. Upstream pairs its platform with a managed 24/7 Vehicle Security Operations Center and monitors tens of millions of vehicles, making it one of the largest-scale players in connected-vehicle security. Because it works server-side without in-vehicle agents, it is typically deployed alongside embedded ECU protection rather than replacing it.

Best for: OEMs and fleet operators that want cloud-scale detection, response, and a managed Vehicle SOC for connected fleets
