Value proposition
Oligo transforms security from passive vulnerability scanning to active runtime protection — observing code execution as it happens to prove which vulnerabilities are actually exploitable (cutting 90-99% of noise), block exploit attempts at the application layer in real time, and enable virtual patching between patch cycles.
Products and solutions
Runtime Security Platform covering: App Security (Runtime SCA & SBOM, licensing compliance, CVE noise reduction), Cloud Security (workload protection, container scanning), AI Security (AI Security Posture Management, AI Detection & Response), SecOps (threat/vuln enrichment, attack mitigation, forensics). Key capabilities include Runtime Exploit Blocking, real-time BOM/VEX, shadow vulnerability discovery, and supply chain security.
Unique value
Runtime-first security that stops attacks in real time without stopping the business — proving exploitability through actual code execution rather than theoretical risk, and blocking malicious functions precisely at the application layer.
Target customer
Enterprise security teams — CISOs, SecOps, AppSec, and CloudSec professionals at Fortune 100 and large organizations running cloud-native, containerized, and AI workloads.
Industries served
Cybersecurity / Application Security (AppSec), Cloud Security, AI Security, Supply Chain Security
Technology advantage
Deep runtime visibility into memory and execution environments; ability to detect and block exploits at the application layer in under a second; runtime proof of exploitability that eliminates 90-99% of vulnerability noise; AI Detection & Response across the full execution chain (from prompt to syscall).
How they differentiate
Unlike static SCA tools (Snyk) or cloud-native CNAPPs (Wiz, Aqua) that focus on scanning and posture, Oligo is runtime-first — it observes actual code execution to prove exploitability and block attacks in real time, addressing the collapsing window between vulnerability disclosure and exploitation in the AI era.
Main competitors
Snyk, Wiz (Defend), Aqua Security, Lacework
Key partnerships
Selected by AWS as the exclusive AI runtime security partner for AWS Security Hub Extended, joined Palantir's FedStart Program to accelerate path to FedRAMP High and DoD Impact Level 5 (IL5) authorization.
Notable customers
Cato Networks, Mural, OneTrust, Cresta, OpenWeb, Cellebrite, Sage, FICO, members of the Fortune 100
Major milestones
Exited stealth with $28M (Feb 2023), raised $50M Series B (Jan 2025), selected by AWS as exclusive AI runtime security partner for AWS Security Hub Extended, joined Palantir's FedStart Program for FedRAMP High / DoD IL5, launched Runtime Exploit Blocking, raised $60M to reach $140M total (Aug 2026).
Growth metrics
300% year-over-year revenue growth (as of Aug 2026); more than doubled valuation since Series B; reduced customer vulnerability numbers by over 99% by focusing on executed vulnerable functions.
Market positioning
Category leader in runtime security / Application Detection and Response (ADR); ranked #1 AI Runtime Security solution in AWS Security Hub+; Gartner Sample Vendor; positioned as a runtime-first alternative to Snyk and a complement to CNAPP platforms.
Geographic focus
Global enterprise market, headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel with expanding global go-to-market operations.
