Amazon GuardDuty vs Oligo Security

Amazon GuardDuty monitors AWS accounts and workloads for malicious activity and generates security findings for response. It analyzes CloudTrail, VPC Flow, DNS, S3, Aurora login, AWS Backup, AI workload, and runtime activity. Detection combines AI, machine learning, anomaly detection, and AWS and third-party threat intelligence. Runtime Monitoring covers EKS, ECS workloads including those on Fargate, and EC2 instances. GuardDuty can scan EC2-attached EBS volumes after suspicious activity and detect potentially harmful uploads to S3 buckets. AI Protection addresses threats such as unusual model invocations, cost harvesting, and prompt injection attempts in Amazon Bedrock and SageMaker workloads. Findings can go to AWS Security Hub, EventBridge, Amazon Detective, or third-party solutions. Foundational protections require no additional security software or infrastructure to deploy and maintain. The service is pay as you go: charges depend on analyzed data and vary by source and AWS Region. New accounts can receive a 30-day trial in supported Regions, and some features are unavailable in some Regions.

Oligo Security provides runtime security for applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems. Its sensor tracks which libraries and functions execute, helping security teams distinguish vulnerabilities that are active in runtime from those that are not. eBPF-based monitoring detects behavior such as unexpected system calls and data exfiltration; the platform can block malicious functions and alert on unauthorized external connections. Oligo also identifies containers, pods, and code paths involved in an attack, and detects novel execution anomalies without relying on static signatures. For AI environments, AI-SPM discovers production models, agents, SDKs, frameworks, and external services and builds a continuing AI bill of materials. AI-DR observes agent tool calls and links LLM calls to the processes behind them. Deployment is supported on Kubernetes-based cloud applications and older on-premises applications without code changes, according to Oligo. The platform is available through API, Linux, web, and self-hosted options, and supports hybrid cloud coverage. Product pages do not state a price and direct visitors to book a demo; a free AWS Marketplace subscription is listed, though additional AWS infrastructure costs may apply.
