OLIGO Named to Disruptors 60: The Most Groundbreaking AI Startups

‍OLIGO joins The AI Disruptors 60

OLIGO has been named to The Disruptors 60, a list curated by Greenfield Partners and unveiled live at TechCrunch Disrupt. The list spotlights 60 companies redefining what's possible and building the technologies the AI era demands.

Taken together, the collection of companies marks an inflection point: AI is becoming the default way modern systems operate. That shift is a big part of our mission at OLIGO.

Why runtime, and why now

As AI becomes part of how applications run, the attack surface moves with it. Agents call tools, execute OS commands, and touch sensitive data on their own. At the same time, the role of defenders has shifted dramatically – as AI dramatically speeds up both vulnerability discovery and advanced exploit development. 

Traditional “scan and patch” models were built for a slower world. Detection, prevention, and containment now have to happen in real time, at the layer where exploitation actually happens: runtime.

How OLIGO works

OLIGO observes what applications actually do as they run. Using Deep Application Inspection (DAI), OLIGO sees inside running applications down to the function and syscall level. That single view powers three areas of our platform:

• Runtime Posture delivers context to prove which vulnerable functions execute in production. Security teams cut CVE noise by 90 to 99% and turn third-party and supply chain risk into a real-time SBOM and VEX.
• Runtime Protection detects active exploitation, including zero-days, and blocks it at the application layer. Virtual patching contains threats between patch cycles.
• Runtime AI Security follows the full AI execution chain, from prompts to tool and OS calls to outputs, to catch prompt injection, agent abuse, and misconfigurations.

Our vision: one runtime layer for applications, cloud, and AI

Traditional, cloud-native, and agentic applications look different on an architecture diagram, and at runtime, they converge. Our customers believe security should meet them there, with one layer that protects applications, cloud workloads, and AI together.

That layer gives security teams and leadership a defensible answer to the question boards and regulators now ask: what is running in our environment, and is it under attack right now? As AI becomes the default way systems operate, that answer has to cover agents as fully as it covers APIs.

Thank you to Greenfield Partners and TechCrunch Disrupt for the recognition, and congratulations to our fellow honorees. Most of all, thank you to our customers and partners, who keep raising the bar for what runtime security should deliver.
