Oligo Security raises $60M as AI speeds up exploit development
UPDATED 11:00 EDT / AUGUST 04 2026 — SiliconANGLE, by Duncan Riley
Runtime security startup Oligo Security Ltd. said today that it had raised $60 million in new funding to accelerate product innovation and expand global go-to-market operations.
Oligo’s software sits alongside applications in production. A sensor built on eBPF tracks which library functions a workload actually calls. Most scanner-flagged vulnerabilities are never called; those that are can be blocked mid-exploit at the application layer without killing the container/process.
Runtime Exploit Blocking (April) defends against classes of attack techniques rather than individual CVEs, covering zero-day and n-day exploits that share a pattern, and supports virtual patching between patch cycles.
Interest rose after unauthorized access concerns around Anthropic’s restricted Claude Mythos model sharpened worry about automated vulnerability discovery and exploit development.
CEO Nadav Czerninski: “AI has fundamentally changed the economics of exploitation… runtime becomes the only place you can definitively understand true risk and stop real attacks without breaking production.”
Claims: ARR growth 300% past year; valuation more than doubled since Greenfield-led $50M Series B in January 2025 (no dollar figures given). AWS exclusive AI runtime security partner for extended AWS Security Hub plan (Feb). Joined Palantir FedStart (June) for FedRAMP High / DoD IL5 path.
Investors: Ballistic Ventures, Canon Capital, Greenfield Partners, Lightspeed, Red Dot Capital Partners, TLV Partners, and Eyal Waldman. Total funding to date: $140 million.
