Oligo Security

Overview

Oligo Security is a runtime security platform for applications, cloud workloads and AI systems. It best suits security teams that need to distinguish active risks from dormant components and respond to suspicious behavior in production. Its broad runtime coverage is balanced by custom pricing; an AWS Marketplace subscription costs 0.00 USD per free and has no end date, though AWS infrastructure costs may apply.

Key features

Runtime vulnerability prioritization

Oligo’s sensor identifies libraries and functions executing in workloads, helping teams focus on vulnerabilities that are loaded into memory rather than every vulnerable component detected. The company claims this can reduce vulnerability noise by up to 95%. That context can make remediation more targeted, but it does not replace the work of fixing vulnerabilities that are genuinely in use. An API can filter vulnerability results by criteria such as CVE or cluster, which helps teams narrow findings to specific issues or environments.

Threat detection and response

eBPF-based monitoring detects behaviors including 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 to teams seeking runtime detection with a response path, rather than visibility alone. It also detects novel execution anomalies without relying on static signatures, an approach aimed at threats that do not match known patterns.

AI workload security

AI-SPM discovers production AI models, agents, SDKs, frameworks and external AI services, and produces a continuous AI bill of materials. AI-DR observes agent tool calls and connects LLM calls to the processes behind them. Oligo also protects open-source models, LangChain and Hugging Face frameworks, and agent workflows against exploits, model tampering and unauthorized data leakage. These capabilities make the platform relevant to teams with AI workloads in production; teams without them may have less reason to value this breadth.

Deployment and integrations

Oligo says it deploys across Kubernetes-based cloud applications and older on-premises applications without code changes. Its sensor is described as non-invasive and as having less than 1% performance impact, a useful design claim for production environments where overhead matters. Slack and Jira notifications and webhooks connect alerts to existing workflows. The platform also supports evidence for PCI 4.0 controls and FedRAMP risk adjustments, including whether vulnerable libraries are loaded or executed.

Pricing

Oligo uses a paid pricing model, with product pricing available by request; product pages direct visitors to book a demo. The AWS Marketplace plan, Oligo Runtime Security Platform, is 0.00 USD per free. Free subscriptions have no end date and may be canceled at any time, but additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply. AWS Marketplace states that 24x7 global vendor support is available to all customers.

The free subscription offers a way to begin without an expiring subscription, but it should not be confused with a no-cost deployment: AWS infrastructure charges may still apply. The published plan terms do not establish quotas or seat limits. Teams evaluating a broader paid deployment should request pricing and clarify scope before committing.

Platforms

Oligo supports API, Linux, self-hosted and web environments. Its cloud coverage is hybrid, with workload detection, container detection and automated response. That combination suits organizations spanning cloud and on-premises applications, while teams seeking coverage outside these platforms should confirm fit before choosing it.

Who it's for

Oligo identifies security leaders, SecOps, AppSec and CloudSec professionals as its audiences. It is most compelling for teams managing containerized or hybrid workloads that want runtime context for vulnerability prioritization alongside detection and response. Organizations with production AI systems can also use its AI inventory and agent monitoring. It is less suited to buyers who need a published product price to compare options quickly or whose priorities do not include runtime and AI workload security.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Runtime execution data helps prioritize vulnerabilities actually loaded into workloads, with a claimed noise reduction of up to 95%.
• Pros: Detection, workload pinpointing and blocking or alerting connect runtime visibility to response.
• Pros: A no-end-date AWS Marketplace subscription provides an entry point, subject to infrastructure costs.
• Cons: Product pricing is by request, making upfront budget comparison harder.
• Cons: AWS infrastructure costs may apply even on the free subscription.
• Cons: AI security breadth is less relevant to teams that do not operate AI workloads.

Alternatives

ARMO Platform is worth considering for buyers who want a free trial or an open-source foundation: ARMO maintains Kubescape, a CNCF project used as its data engine. Sysdig Secure may suit teams comparing host-based licensing, which is based on the number of hosts (compute instances for CSPM). FortiCNAPP offers Standard plans with one- or three-year billing and entitlement per vCPU, making it a possible fit for buyers evaluating term-based licensing. Wiz Defend uses modular licensing with quote-based pricing and has no free plan, so Oligo’s free AWS subscription may be preferable for an initial evaluation.

Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud API Security, Sweet Security, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface and SentinelOne Singularity Cloud Security are other options to compare.

Verdict

Oligo is a strong fit for security teams that need runtime-based vulnerability prioritization, threat detection and response across hybrid workloads, especially when AI systems are also in scope. Its main reason to choose it is the combination of execution context with response capabilities; its main reason to look elsewhere is custom product pricing, with potential AWS infrastructure costs even for the free subscription.
