Oligo vs. CrowdStrike

TL;DR

CrowdStrike specializes in endpoint and workload protection, extending its Falcon sensor and adversary threat intelligence into cloud detection and response. Oligo specializes in runtime protection across code, apps, AI, and cloud, seeing what's actually executing inside a live application as it happens.

Both companies now talk about "runtime." The difference is depth: CrowdStrike correlates workload and process behavior against known adversary tradecraft, while Oligo inspects what's actually executing inside the application itself, down to the function and call stack. Customers often run both: CrowdStrike for endpoint, workload, and adversary-informed detection, Oligo for the in-process, function-level visibility that sits a layer deeper.

CrowdStrike answers "is this workload behaving like a known attack, and can I isolate it fast." Oligo answers "what is this application actually executing right now, down to the function, and is any of it exploitable."

Both are runtime stories, but they operate at different altitudes. CrowdStrike correlates process and workload behavior against a deep well of adversary intelligence, which is genuinely strong for detecting known attack patterns fast. Oligo's Deep App Inspection works one layer deeper, inside the process itself, so it can confirm exploitability with call-stack evidence, block a single function without killing the container, and catch the zero-days that don't match a known signature or TTP.
