CISO Tribune files both AccuKnox and Oligo under Cloud workload protection as their primary category, and both companies are privately held. AccuKnox sells Zero Trust Container, a runtime container that enforces zero trust policies to protect applications, networks and data in cloud and Kubernetes environments. Oligo sells AI Security Posture Management and Real-Time BOM, and CISO Tribune also files it under Software composition analysis and AI model and agent security.
Oligo's Real-Time BOM detects which libraries are executed, and its SBOMs are enriched with exploitability determinations generated from running applications. Its AI Security Posture Management product generates a real-time bill of materials for every AI component and dependency. The overlap is in workload protection for cloud and Kubernetes environments, while the Oligo facts add software composition and AI asset coverage. Oligo says it deploys in minutes and makes no changes to customer code.
On ownership and funding, AccuKnox is a spin-off from SRI International and closed a seed funding round in late 2020. Oligo Security announced on August 4, 2026 that it completed a $60 million financing round, bringing its total funding to $140 million. Oligo said the money is meant to speed up product innovation and expand its global go-to-market operations. On August 27, 2026, AccuKnox announced the launch of AgentZ, a platform for building, running and governing AI agents across teams and workflows.

AccuKnox on the recordOligo gives security teams real-time runtime intelligence across code, cloud, and AI.[1][3]
Oligo catches zero-days and active exploit attempts in real time. The Oligo sensor is built around patented eBPF technology that identifies when attackers start to use applications in unintended ways. Oligo ties malicious CWPP detections to exploits seen at the application layer. Oligo protects workloads and hosts against malware, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and more.[3][4][5]
Oligo can pinpoint exact containers, pods, and code paths under attack. Oligo can block or alert on unauthorized external network connections. Oligo detects risks originating in CVEs, malicious packages, misconfigurations, zero-days, undisclosed risks, and disputed vulnerabilities. Oligo flags suspicious processes, Kubernetes, network, and file activity across all workloads and hosts. Oligo can limit library-level permissions to stop breaches in progress. Oligo maps suspicious behavior across the MITRE ATT&CK framework.[3][4][5][9]
Oligo pinpoints vulnerabilities that are actively loaded into execution memory. Oligo can distinguish between vulnerable code on disk and code in execution. Oligo prioritizes risks across packages, images, and workloads based on what is running in applications. Oligo provides call stacks and runtime proof that vulnerable libraries exist in running applications. Oligo can identify malicious packages, configuration-based vulnerabilities, and libraries that have already been breached.[3][5][6][7]
Oligo makes standard SBOMs and generates a Real-Time BOM that detects exactly which libraries are executed. Oligo enriches SBOMs with exploitability determinations. Oligo VEX and Real-Time BOMs are generated from running applications. Oligo can trace malicious code back to its original source repository after detection. If attackers activate malicious code that was previously dormant, the Oligo sensor detects indicators of compromise and limits library-level permissions.[7][8][9]
Oligo enables compliance with multiple segments of PCI 4.0 Requirement 2. Oligo lets users set different allowable license types for different applications and application types, with alerts whenever policies are violated.[10]
Oligo AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) delivers real-time visibility and control over every AI asset running in the environment. Oligo safeguards open-source AI models, LLM frameworks such as LangChain/Hugging Face, and agent workflows against malicious exploits, model tampering, and unauthorized data leakage in runtime environments. Oligo can inspect model files and dependencies loaded into GPU/CPU memory. Oligo can prevent AI agents from making unvetted egress API calls. Oligo gives real-time insight into shadow AI components running in cluster. Oligo generates a real-time bill of materials for every AI component and dependency.[1][3][11]
Oligo deploys in minutes for modern cloud applications built on K8s or older applications hosted on-prem. Oligo makes no changes to customer code when it is deployed. Oligo describes the application security sensor as one sensor per host that monitors code in real time. Oligo describes cloud application and workload security as a siloed process in which SOC, AppSec, and CloudSec teams each chase their own alerts.[1][2][6][7][10][11][12][13][14]
