Oligo Security has introduced Runtime Exploit Blocking, a new capability designed to stop cyberattacks directly at the application layer in real time. With this launch, the company is shifting the focus of cybersecurity from traditional vulnerability management to active threat prevention during execution. As a result, organizations can now detect and block exploit attempts without disrupting application performance or uptime.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, attackers are increasingly relying on repeatable exploit techniques to gain initial access. In fact, exploitation has remained the leading entry method for several years. At the same time, advancements in AI are enabling threat actors to discover and exploit vulnerabilities, including zero-days, with greater speed and precision. Consequently, traditional security approaches that rely heavily on CVE prioritization are becoming less effective in stopping real-time attacks.
In response to these challenges, Oligo Security has developed a solution that focuses on runtime behavior rather than theoretical risk. Instead of managing large backlogs of vulnerabilities, organizations can now identify and stop attacks as they occur.
“The industry is still trying to solve exploitation as a vulnerability management problem, but AI-enabled attackers have already moved on,” said Nadav Czerninski, co-founder and CEO of Oligo Security. “Modern attacks are built on repeatable techniques that execute at runtime, which means the only way to stop them effectively is by observing code execution at runtime. With this capability, we’re enabling customers to stop advanced exploits with first-of-its-kind precision and without disrupting uptime.”
With this release, Oligo positions the application runtime as the central point for defending against modern threats. By correlating application behavior with system-level activity, the platform provides deeper context into how attacks unfold. Therefore, security teams can detect malicious activity more accurately and respond instantly without interrupting business operations.
Moreover, the platform offers several advanced capabilities that enhance real-time protection. First, it delivers runtime execution visibility by analyzing call stacks, function calls, and data flows. This allows organizations to determine whether a vulnerability is actively exploitable rather than just theoretically present.
In addition, the system performs runtime exploit detection by identifying suspicious sequences of behavior. While individual actions may appear harmless, the platform recognizes patterns that indicate an exploit attempt. As a result, it can detect sophisticated attacks that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Equally important, Oligo’s non-disruptive blocking mechanism stops attacks at the point of execution. Instead of shutting down applications or containers, it blocks the specific system calls associated with malicious activity. Consequently, the application continues to run normally while the threat is neutralized.
Furthermore, the solution adopts a technique-based protection model. Rather than focusing on individual CVEs, it defends against entire classes of attacks. This approach enables a single rule to mitigate multiple vulnerabilities, including previously unknown zero-day threats.
“What’s most impressive about Oligo’s platform is its ability to understand application behavior at runtime and detect when something deviates at the execution level,” said Brad Arkin, Cybersecurity Advisor and former Chief Trust Officer of Salesforce. “If a component suddenly starts making system calls it shouldn’t, that’s a strong indicator of exploitation. Being able to block that specific behavior while the rest of the application continues running is a game-changing capability that should be a requirement for modern security programs.”
Overall, Oligo Security’s Runtime Exploit Blocking marks a significant advancement in application security. By focusing on real-time execution and behavior-based detection, the company is enabling organizations to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated and AI-driven cyber threats.
