Oligo Security

Oligo Security provides runtime security for applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems. Its sensor identifies the libraries and functions active during execution, helping security teams focus vulnerability work on code that is actually loaded or used. eBPF-based monitoring detects behavior such as unexpected system calls and data exfiltration; the platform can block malicious functions or alert on unauthorized external connections. For AI environments, Oligo AI-SPM discovers production models, agents, frameworks, SDKs, and external AI services and builds a continuous AI bill of materials. Oligo AI-DR monitors agent tool calls and connects LLM calls to the processes behind them. Slack and Jira notifications, webhooks, and an API support integrations and vulnerability filtering. Oligo says deployment works across Kubernetes-based cloud applications and older on-premises applications without code changes. It describes its sensor as lightweight, with less than 1% performance impact. Pricing is available on request. A free AWS Marketplace subscription has no end date and can be canceled at any time; additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply.

Oligo combines runtime vulnerability management, threat detection, and AI monitoring in one platform. Teams considering it should account for the request-based product pricing and possible AWS infrastructure costs.

Oligo is aimed at security leaders and SecOps, AppSec, and CloudSec professionals responsible for applications, cloud workloads, or production AI systems. It may suit teams seeking runtime vulnerability prioritization and automated response.

Overview

Oligo Security is a runtime security platform for applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems. It suits security teams that need to connect vulnerability prioritization with production behavior and response. Its breadth is compelling, but custom pricing and a focus on runtime controls make it a poor fit for buyers seeking a simple, low-cost endpoint security subscription.

Key features

Runtime vulnerability management

Oligo tracks which libraries and functions execute, allowing teams to prioritize vulnerabilities that are loaded into memory rather than treating every detected component as equally urgent. The vendor claims this can reduce vulnerability noise by up to 95%; that makes the approach most relevant to teams dealing with large vulnerability queues, not buyers looking for a general-purpose scanner. An API can filter findings by CVE or cluster, supporting workflows organized around specific issues or environments.

Runtime detection and response

eBPF-based monitoring looks for behaviors such as unexpected system calls and data exfiltration. Oligo can pinpoint affected containers, pods, and code paths, then block malicious functions or alert on unauthorized external network connections. This combination is useful for SecOps and CloudSec teams that need actionable runtime context and response options; it is less suited to organizations that only need inventory or alerts.

Oligo says its sensor can identify novel execution anomalies without static signatures and has less than 1% performance impact, with no user instrumentation. Those claims address two practical concerns—unknown threats and deployment overhead—but should not be mistaken for a guarantee that every workload or anomaly will be covered.

AI security and integrations

AI-SPM discovers production AI models, agents, SDKs, frameworks, and external services, producing a continuous AI bill of materials. AI-DR observes agent tool calls and links LLM calls to the processes behind them. Oligo also says it protects open-source models, LangChain and Hugging Face frameworks, and agent workflows against exploits, model tampering, and unauthorized data leakage. These capabilities make it more relevant to teams operating AI in production than to organizations without those workloads.

Slack and Jira notifications, webhooks, and filtering through the API provide ways to connect findings to existing processes. Oligo says it supports Kubernetes-based cloud applications and older on-premises applications without code changes. It also describes evidence about loaded or executed vulnerable libraries for PCI 4.0 controls and FedRAMP risk adjustments. AWS Marketplace states that 24x7 global vendor support is available to all customers.

Pricing

Oligo Runtime Security Platform has a free subscription at no cost. Free subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled at any time; additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. This is a useful way to begin without a subscription expiry, but AWS infrastructure charges mean it is not necessarily cost-free to operate.

Paid pricing is on request, and product pages direct buyers to book a demo. There are no published seat or usage quotas to compare, so teams should establish expected workload coverage, infrastructure costs, and commercial terms before committing. The free subscription is a starting point, not a published lower-cost tier with defined feature limits.

Platforms

Oligo supports API, Linux, self-hosted, and web environments, with hybrid cloud coverage, container detection, workload detection, and automated response. That mix fits organizations spanning cloud and on-premises applications; buyers with needs centered on mobile or desktop endpoint management should look elsewhere.

Who it's for

Security leaders, SecOps, AppSec, and CloudSec professionals are Oligo's core audience. It is strongest for teams that can use runtime evidence to prioritize vulnerabilities and act on threats, particularly where production AI or a mix of cloud and older on-premises applications complicates visibility. Organizations seeking a narrowly scoped vulnerability list without runtime response may find its breadth unnecessary.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Runtime evidence distinguishes executing vulnerable libraries from components that are merely present, helping focus remediation.
• Pros: Detection, process-level context, and blocking or alerting connect investigation to response.
• Pros: AI inventory and agent-call monitoring extend runtime visibility to production AI systems.
• Cons: Paid pricing is custom, so buyers cannot compare subscription costs without engaging sales.
• Cons: AWS infrastructure costs may apply even with the no-end-date free subscription.
• Cons: Its runtime focus is a mismatch for buyers who need a general endpoint security suite or only basic inventory.

Alternatives

For a broader set of cloud detection and response options, browse Cloud Detection and Response Software.

• Amazon GuardDuty is worth considering for AWS-focused buyers who prefer pay-as-you-go billing and a free trial; charges depend on analyzed data and vary by source and region.
• Wiz Defend may suit teams seeking modular, quote-based licensing.
• SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security is an option for buyers comparing endpoint-billed plans with stated 90-day or 14-day data retention.
• Upwind Cloud Detection and Response is another paid web-based option.
• Sweet Security is another paid option with Linux and self-hosted support.
• Microsoft Defender for Business may fit organizations prioritizing a published $3 a month price, annual billing, and coverage for up to 300 users and five devices.
• Sysdig Secure may be preferable when host-count-based licensing aligns with the environment.
• FortiCNAPP offers Standard tiers with one-year or three-year terms and entitlement per vCPU.

Verdict

Choose Oligo if your security team needs runtime-based vulnerability prioritization alongside threat detection, response, and AI workload visibility. Its main advantage is connecting what is executing to what deserves attention and action. Look elsewhere if you need transparent paid pricing, a general endpoint suite, or security coverage that does not depend on runtime context.
