Introducing the Jit + Upwind Integration: Real-Time Risk Context for Smarter Vulnerability Prioritization

In today’s fast-moving development environments, vulnerability backlogs are growing faster than AppSec teams can keep up. Scanners can surface thousands of issues, but which ones actually matter?

With our new integration with Upwind, Jit’s AI Agents can incorporate runtime context detected by Upwind to help inform the continuous vulnerability triage process – enabling security teams to focus on the issues that matter most.

This integration allows Jit’s AI Agents to query Upwind’s APIs in real time through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). That means our agents can now retrieve live runtime risk data from Upwind to enrich vulnerability findings with context—like whether they’re internet-facing, exploitable, or flagged as risky by Upwind’s runtime analysis.

This is a first step toward bridging the gap between static findings and real-world risk—providing code-to-cloud mapping and security.

One of Jit’s joint customers with Upwind, Pixellot’s CIO Eran Gutman, summarizes the value of the integration nicely:

Why It Matters: The Context You Need, Without the Manual Work

Jit already unifies application and cloud security scanners into a single platform. But the challenge isn’t just detecting vulnerabilities—it’s knowing which ones to prioritize. That’s where Upwind provides additional context to focus on the issues that introduce real risk.

With this integration, Jit’s AI Agents can now:

• Query Upwind’s APIs during inference in real time to fetch contextual information about the top vulnerabilities in any given application.

• Automatically enrich scanner findings with real-time indicators like exploitability, production exposure, network accessibility and many more.

• Deliver responses in a structured, machine-readable format—ideal for automation and integration into broader workflows.

Instead of manually investigating whether a critical vulnerability is exposed to the internet or impacts a production service, you can just ask:

“What are the top 10 critical vulnerabilities in Application X?”

And get back a structured list, with Upwind-powered context on why each one matters. As a result, security teams can seamlessly incorporate Upwind’s runtime context into their regular vulnerability triage cycles, without ever leaving Jit.

How It Works and How to Get Started

To get started, navigate to Jit’s integrations page, click on the Upwind card, and enter your:

• client_id
  client_secret
  Organization_id

These are obtained through Upwind and allow Jit to authenticate on your behalf using the client credentials flow. Once configured, Jit’s AI agents continuously pull context from Upwind to enrich security findings. Using MCP, the agents query Upwind’s API to assess exploitability during triage—helping teams prioritize and remediate faster, without manual cross-referencing across tools. Information retrieved through MCPs has few important characteristics:

• Follows a well-defined input/output schema

• Includes a natural language description of retrieved data

• Returns results in a format the AI agent can directly consume and act upon

• Is easy to expand—future updates can include filters, additional queries, or extended metadata from Upwind

Why This Changes the Game for AppSec

Security teams are outnumbered. Developers ship faster than ever. And most security tools leave you with long lists of findings and no real sense of what’s important.

This integration helps security teams do more with less by automatically incorporating critical runtime context from Upwind into their larger vulnerability triage process.

By letting Jit’s AI Agents access Upwind’s real-time risk engine, we’re bringing runtime context directly into the heart of the AppSec workflow—where prioritization decisions are made.

• No more guessing which issues matter

• No more wasting time on non-exploitable vulnerabilities

• Just clear, contextualized, actionable risk data

This is just the beginning of our work to expand Jit’s ecosystem of AI-integrated tools. Stay tuned for more endpoints and smarter workflows. And as always, we’d love your feedback on how we can make it even more useful.
