Oligo Security is a runtime security company that protects applications, cloud workloads and AI agents while they are actually running. Security and engineering teams use it to catch exploits as they happen, cut vulnerability backlogs down to the libraries that really execute, and keep watch over the AI models and agents now running inside their environments.
It is built for organisations whose scanners report far more vulnerabilities than they can fix, and who need to know which risks are live in production.

What Oligo Security Does
Most application security tools look at code before it ships. Oligo looks at what happens inside the running process: unexpected system calls, data leaving the application, a library behaving in a way it never has before. The same view drives vulnerability work, because a flaw in a library that is never loaded into memory carries far less risk than one that executes on every request. Prioritising by execution is where the savings come from: a reported reduction in vulnerability noise of up to 95% follows.
Products
Cloud Application Detection And Response (CADR)
CADR gives application teams the kind of detection that endpoint tools give laptops, but at the application layer. It spots drift, malicious payloads and zero-day exploits, blocks threats such as remote code execution in real time, and can isolate a single process and remediate automatically, so one compromised library does not take down a whole service.
Runtime Vulnerability Management
This module is for teams drowning in scanner findings. It identifies which vulnerable libraries are actually loaded and executed, scores risk with memory-level context, and puts the vulnerabilities that are both present and running at the top of the queue.
Real-Time SBOM And Supply Chain Security
Instead of a static bill of materials, Oligo keeps an inventory of the open-source libraries that are running in memory. It also watches third-party packages at runtime, which helps catch a trusted dependency that suddenly starts acting maliciously.
Compliance And Assurance
Compliance teams can use runtime evidence for FedRAMP, PCI 4.0 Requirements 2 and 6 and licence policies. For FedRAMP, the product can show Authorising Officials that a vulnerable library is never loaded or executed. It also produces SBOMs, supports internal vulnerability scans, scans continuously as software changes and alerts on licence policy violations.
How It Works
The Oligo eBPF sensor runs on Linux hosts and reads library and function executions directly from the kernel. It is lightweight, installs quickly and scales across applications. The platform builds a profile of each application’s normal activity, blocks deviations from it, and checks every finding against what is really loaded and executed in memory.
Coverage spans modern cloud applications built on Kubernetes and older applications hosted on premises, across apps, workloads, hosts and cloud infrastructure. Oligo can also be used during CI/CD.
Agentic AI Capabilities
The Runtime AI Security module protects AI models, LLM frameworks and agent workflows.
Agent Monitoring
AI Detection and Response (AI-DR) watches agents in real time, including every action they take and the code they generate, and mitigates rogue agents. Guardrails stop AI agents from making unvetted outbound API calls.
Model Protection
Oligo detects misconfigured, unsafe, untrusted and vulnerable AI models and inspects model files as they are loaded into GPU and CPU memory. Runtime AI Vulnerability Detection keeps checking for AI misconfigurations and vulnerabilities over time.
AI Posture And Discovery
AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) maps the AI components in use, including shadow AI running in clusters.
