Oligo Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR)

Oligo Security is a runtime application security company founded in January 2022 by three childhood friends and former Israeli Defense Forces elite cyber unit officers, CEO Nadav Czerninski, CTO Gal Elbaz, and CPO Avshalom Hilu, serving graduates from Unit 8200, Unit 81, and Matzov (Center of Encryption and Information Security) with headquarters in Tel Aviv and offices in New York and Palo Alto. The company emerged from stealth in February 2023 with $28 million in initial funding and has raised $78-86 million total including a $50 million Series B in January 2025 led by Greenfield Partners with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Ballistic Ventures, and TLV Partners, serving Fortune 500 customers across financial services, healthcare, and technology sectors.

The Oligo Cloud Application Detection and Response (CADR) platform uses patent-pending eBPF technology to monitor live application behavior at the library level, profiling the legitimate behavior of each library to create a knowledge base and detecting deviations in real-time to identify zero-day exploits, malicious packages, and shadow vulnerabilities without relying on traditional signature-based detection methods. The platform provides unprecedented visibility across the entire software supply chain including third-party commercial software and open-source components, automatically correlating events and behaviors to surgically block attacks at the first exploit attempt while maintaining application performance and stability, reducing the threat exposure window from days to minutes and enabling security teams to focus on truly exploitable vulnerabilities rather than theoretical risks.

Oligo has been recognized on the Fortune Cyber 60 list for two consecutive years (2025, 2026), named a 2025 SINET16 Innovator Award winner selected by over 100 CISOs and risk executives, honored as SC Media Best Supply Chain Security Solution 2024, and recognized as both a Cloud Security Innovator and CADR leader in Latio's 2025 Cloud Security Market Report. The company has also released the Application Attack Matrix as an open-source framework on GitHub to categorize tactics, techniques, and procedures for application-layer attacks, complementing MITRE ATT&CK with application-specific threat intelligence, and was named after the oligodendrocyte from computational neuroscience representing the critical protection layer that wraps each neuron.
