Most security and monitoring tools stop at the edge of the running application: they see what's configured, what's deployed, or what's declared, but not what's actually executing. Oligo's Deep App Inspection sees every function call, library, and model invocation as it happens, in production. That means vulnerabilities get prioritized by what's actually exploitable, zero-days get caught by behavior instead of signatures, and attacks get blocked at the function level without taking down the app.
Oligo isn't usually a replacement for the tools you already run. It's the runtime and app-layer layer most platforms were never built to provide. Explore how Oligo compares below, or jump straight to a specific vendor.
Cloud security platforms, whether they lead with agentless posture scanning or agent-based workload protection, watch the cloud and the workload from the outside: configuration, identity, process activity, network behavior. None of them see what's actually executing inside a running application.
Oligo goes one layer deeper. That means Oligo prioritizes vulnerabilities by what's actually exploitable, catches zero-days by behavior and technique rather than signatures, and blocks attacks at the function level, without killing the container.
Customers usually don't replace their cloud security platform with Oligo. They pair the two: the platform handles posture, identity, and workload protection, Oligo handles the runtime and app-layer depth none of them were built to provide.
