Datadog offers nearly $4 billion for Upwind Security
The Information reports the cloud security startup has drawn several acquisition offers in recent months without accepting any.
Datadog has proposed acquiring Israeli cloud security startup Upwind Security for close to $4 billion, according to a report by The Information. Upwind has not accepted the offer.
Upwind has received acquisition offers from several companies in recent months and has turned down all of them so far. The company is meanwhile raising $300 million at a valuation of about $3.8 billion.
Upwind sells software that monitors applications and AI agents running in the cloud, including automatic responses to signs of hacking or intrusion. Its customers include Roku and Brazilian digital bank Nubank.
The reported approach follows an earlier attempt by Datadog to buy Upwind for about $1 billion last year, a negotiation that fell apart, according to The Information. The outlet also reported that Upwind's annual recurring revenue grew from about $20 million at the end of 2025 to more than $50 million.
