Is Oligo Security profitable?

No audited revenue figures are public. Oligo last raised a $50M Series B on January 29, 2025 (Greenfield Partners lead), bringing total funding to $80M per the company's own announcement. No profitability claims have been made publicly as of mid 2026.

Who founded Oligo Security and when?

Oligo Security was founded in 2022 by CEO Nadav Czerninski, CTO Gal Elbaz, and CPO Avshalom Hilu. The company came out of stealth on February 15, 2023, announcing seed and Series A funding totaling $28M.

Who is Oligo Security's biggest competitor?

Oligo competes with CrowdStrike's Falcon Cloud Security, Palo Alto Networks/Wiz (now part of Google Cloud since a 2025 acquisition), Sysdig, Datadog, and smaller runtime peers like Orca Security and Upwind. These incumbents already ship overlapping eBPF/runtime detection features as of 2026.

Could AI replace Oligo Security's product?

Unlikely directly. Oligo's moat is a proprietary eBPF sensor delivering live production runtime telemetry, claimed under 0.5% CPU overhead as of May 28, 2026, a form of operational data a general AI model cannot replicate without deep customer infrastructure integration.

Has Oligo Security been acquired?

No. As of mid 2026, Oligo Security remains an independent, privately held, VC-backed company at Series B stage with no announced acquisition or Series C round since its January 29, 2025 raise.

What does Oligo Security actually do?

Oligo builds an eBPF-based runtime security platform called Deep Application Inspection, covering application security (runtime SCA/CVE noise reduction), Cloud Application Detection and Response, and Runtime AI Security for LLMs and agents, sold partly through AWS Marketplace as of June 16, 2026.

Runtime application security startup using eBPF to catch threats inside live production code.

Losing its protection

The structural protection is eroding.

On the recordSince 21 July 2026 · Checkable from Q1 2027 · Every call on the record Checkpoint: FedRAMP High / DoD IL5 authorization decision via Palantir FedStart

The call

Oligo has real Fortune 500 traction and a distinct eBPF approach, but sits in a room where much larger security platforms are building toward the same runtime capability.

Oligo Security built software that watches what applications actually do while they run, using a Linux technology called eBPF to catch attacks in real time. They have real Fortune 500 customers and raised $80 million, but the core technology is not hard for giant competitors like CrowdStrike, Google Cloud, Palo Alto Networks, and Datadog to copy, and several smaller rivals are already trying. The company's best shot at lasting independence is winning government security approvals (FedRAMP and DoD certifications) that take months to earn and that big platforms struggle to maintain, but if those giants ship equally good runtime security into their existing products before Oligo raises more money, the company becomes acquisition bait rather than a long-term independent player.

Why

AI pressure: None apparent. AI-generated code is expanding vulnerable attack surface, which pushes more demand toward Oligo's runtime detection rather than replacing it. Could AI do the core job? Unlikely.

Bigger players: CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security, Wiz (Google Cloud), Palo Alto Networks Prisma CNAPP, Datadog, Sysdig. These platforms already sell adjacent runtime and CNAPP features and could bundle eBPF-based inspection into existing suites at no extra cost. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.

What protects it. Deep eBPF telemetry wired into Fortune 500 production stacks plus a pending FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 authorization that could lock in federal buyers.

What would change this call

CrowdStrike, Wiz, or Datadog announces bundled AI-runtime security inside existing platform pricing. Shows incumbents neutralizing Oligo's differentiation without extra customer cost.
Oligo announces Series C funding within 18-24 months of its Jan 2025 Series B. Would indicate continued investor confidence and market traction.
Oligo's FedRAMP High or DoD IL5 authorization is confirmed as fully granted, not just pending. Would show a federal-trust moat materializing rather than stalling.

Key numbers

$50M Series B raised, $80M total funding (2025-01-29)
About 120 employees (2026-06-20)
Estimated ARR $14.3M to $19.6M (third-party) (2026-06-20)

Named risks

CrowdStrike, Wiz/Google Cloud, or Datadog bundle AI-runtime security into existing platforms at no extra cost. Severity: high
No Series C or new funding round announced 18+ months after January 2025 Series B. Severity: medium
FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 authorization via Palantir FedStart still pending, not yet shipped as of June 2026. Severity: medium
No audited revenue disclosed; company relies on third-party estimates for market credibility. Severity: low

Rivals, as read in July 2026

Rival	Direction	Evidence
Wiz (now part of Google Cloud)	gaining on	Wiz became part of Google Cloud after a 2025 acquisition, consolidating CNAPP market share
CrowdStrike (Falcon Cloud Security)	contesting	Ships overlapping eBPF/runtime CADR features as of 2026, no channel barrier to entry
Sysdig	contesting	Falco-based runtime detection directly overlaps with Oligo's Deep Application Inspection approach
Datadog	contesting	Expanding observability platform into security features that overlap with Oligo's runtime scope
