About Oligo

Oligo 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]
