Upstream

Upstream provides a cloud-based, AI-powered data management platform designed specifically for connected vehicles, smart mobility, and IoT ecosystems. The platform transforms fragmented mobility data from connected vehicles into centralized, structured, and contextualized data lakes that can be analyzed and acted upon. The company's core offering includes cybersecurity detection and response (XDR) capabilities for automotive environments, enabling real-time threat detection across connected vehicle fleets. Their platform is cloud-native and agentless, monitoring vehicle telemetry, diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), and other data streams to identify cyber threats and anomalies. Beyond cybersecurity, Upstream has expanded into proactive vehicle quality detection, using AI and machine learning models to identify vehicle defects and quality issues before warranty claims are filed. This solution analyzes thousands of sensor signals and telemetry data points to detect anomalies, accelerate root-cause analysis, and reduce warranty costs for automotive manufacturers. The platform incorporates digital twin technology and generative AI models that allow quality and security teams to query vehicle data using natural language interfaces. Upstream serves automotive OEMs and fleet operators, helping them address challenges related to Vehicle Security Operations Centers (VSOC), regulatory compliance including ISO/SAE 21434, and fleet security management. The company has partnerships with major automotive manufacturers like Škoda and focuses on enabling data-driven decision-making across the connected vehicle lifecycle.
