Definition

Runtime Exploit Blocking stops exploit techniques mid-flight inside production applications — typically at syscall/application layer — without killing the workload. Distinct from CVE-by-CVE patching or payload signature matching.

Key Points

  • oligo-security product capability (Apr 2026+) on ebpf Deep Application Inspection
  • Technique-based rules (e.g. insecure deserialization) can cover many CVEs including undisclosed future ones (vendor claim)
  • Framed as virtual patching between patch cycles amid AI-accelerated exploit development
