Oligo Runtime Vulnerability Management
Runtime reachability proving exploitability by detecting which vulnerable OSS functions run in prod.
Oligo Runtime Vulnerability Management Overview
What it does
Oligo Runtime Vulnerability Management is an application security product that prioritizes open-source and third-party vulnerabilities by runtime exploitability rather than static severity scores. Its distinguishing mechanism is a patented eBPF sensor that observes library and function executions directly from the Linux kernel, identifying which vulnerable libraries and individual functions are actually loaded and executed in production. This lets teams separate genuinely exploitable findings from dormant dependencies that Software Composition Analysis (SCA) scanners flag but that never run.
How it works
The eBPF sensor installs in minutes without code changes and runs with minimal performance overhead, then maps each finding to a function-level call stack and root cause that shows how it could be exploited. From the same runtime data it generates software bills of materials (SBOMs), a Real-Time BOM that marks which dependencies execute in production, and automated Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) reports. Policies trigger ticket creation in Slack and Jira, while behavioral analysis flags malicious packages, non-CVE risks, and configuration-based issues. Named customers include Sage, OneTrust, Cresta, and OpenWeb.
Credentials and traction
The product targets enterprise application security and DevSecOps teams in regulated sectors such as financial services, software, and technology, with named customers including FICO, Cellebrite, Cato Networks, and Mural. It supports audit and regulatory programs by helping teams produce PCI DSS 4.0 and FedRAMP evidence, using runtime proof that flagged libraries are not executed to adjust or close vulnerability findings. Oligo's advisory board includes former security leaders from Snyk, Check Point, and Tenable.
Key Capabilities
mapped to solution categoriesScans cloud resource configurations and container image CVEs alongside traditional OS and application vulnerabilities in a unified risk view.
Creates tickets, assigns owners, and tracks remediation progress in ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Jira), closing the loop between finding and fix rather than producing a static report.
Aggregates and deduplicates findings from network scanners, endpoint agents, cloud scanners, and third-party tools into one normalized record for cross-estate risk ranking.
Determines whether a vulnerable function is actually reachable and called in the codebase: not merely present in the dependency tree. Reduces actionable CVEs to those with real exploit paths; requires static code analysis on top of dependency scanning.
Traverses the full dependency graph to surface CVEs in indirect dependencies, packages required by your direct dependencies. Direct-only scanning misses the majority of vulnerable code paths in modern polyglot projects.
Imports or generates Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange documents asserting whether a known CVE actually affects a given product in its deployed context. Reduces false positives in downstream consumers of SBOMs.
Identifies packages with known-malicious behavior (typosquatting, dependency confusion, backdoored releases), distinct from packages with CVEs in legitimate code.
Exports the dependency inventory as a machine-readable Software Bill of Materials in SPDX or CycloneDX format, consumable by downstream vulnerability scanners, compliance tools, and procurement workflows.
