## Executive Summary

Oligo Security runs an eBPF sensor inside the Linux kernel that tracks which code an application actually executes, flags the vulnerabilities that reach production, and watches AI agents for hijacked behavior. That sensor is reproducible by a funded rival or a cloud platform. The harder-to-copy asset is the triage and compliance work security teams build on its runtime evidence once they adopt it. Named customer references, press-reported Fortune 500 use, and founders from elite military cyber units give Oligo enterprise footing. The proof stays self-reported, with customer figures drawn from Oligo's own pages and no independent test of scale, and the newest AI line extends the same runtime approach rather than defending AI from the ground up.

### Products

| Product | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) | Runtime detection and response that identifies application and software supply chain exploitation as it happens, profiling library and function behavior to flag and block malicious activity. |
| Runtime Vulnerability Management | Prioritizes vulnerabilities by whether the affected library code actually runs in production, with full call stacks, root-cause analysis, and automated SBOM and VEX reporting. |
| Runtime AI Security | Monitors AI agents, tool calls, and model activity at runtime, adding AI security posture management, AI detection and response, and continuous AI vulnerability and misconfiguration detection. |

## Matrix Coverage

Mapped to the [Cyber Defense Matrix](https://cyberdefensematrix.com) [\[f4\]](#company-detail-sources):

| Asset | Identify | Protect | Detect | Respond | Recover |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Applications | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |  |

Oligo's Cloud Application Detection and Response and Runtime Vulnerability Management use an eBPF sensor to inventory exploitable library vulnerabilities and detect and block application and supply chain attacks in production. This conventional application security maps to the Cyber Defense Matrix.

Mapped to the [AI Defense Matrix](https://aidefensematrix.com) [\[f5\]](#company-detail-sources):

| Asset | Govern | Identify | Protect | Detect | Respond | Recover |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI Orchestration Tools |  | ✓ |  | ✓ |  |  |
| AI Model |  |  | ✓ |  |  |  |

Oligo Runtime AI Security inventories the models and agents in use, monitors agent actions and tool calls at runtime to catch hijacked or rogue agents, and adds model protection. These capabilities are mapped to the AI Defense Matrix. Runtime AI Security is in private preview (Nov 2025), not yet GA.
