Enterprise security budgets are shifting from static code scanning to live runtime monitoring — positioning Israeli cybersecurity firms to dominate defense for AI infrastructure.

BackgroundFounded to monitor open-source dependencies and AI workloads, Oligo tracks code behavior during live execution rather than scanning static files. The startup has raised $140M to date as cloud environments face rising threats from automated software exploits.

Points
  1. The round drew backing from Ballistic Ventures, Lightspeed, Greenfield Partners, and Mellanox co-founder Eyal Waldman, signaling strong VC confidence in Israeli cyber pioneers.
  2. Oligo reported a 300% surge in annual recurring revenue over the past year, driven by enterprise deployments of live cloud workload protection.
  3. The startup integrated its technology directly into AWS Security Hub and Palantir FedStart, easing adoption for US defense and federal agency clients.
