Oligo Security vs Wiz Defend

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.

Wiz Defend provides real-time threat detection, investigation, and response across cloud environments, including AI applications. It combines runtime signals from the Wiz sensor, cloud and SaaS logs, and agentless risk context to trace attack paths and assess possible blast radius. Telemetry maps to MITRE ATT&CK, and the product identifies coverage gaps before an incident. Its Blue Agent triages threats and prepares an investigation and verdict for analyst review. Response options include cloud containment playbooks, root-cause analysis, source-code remediation, and automation through Wiz Workflows. Wiz Defend detects AI runtime threats including prompt injection, model exfiltration, and MCP server attacks. The Wiz Sensor add-on monitors and protects VM, containerized, and serverless container workloads. Kubernetes capabilities include file integrity monitoring, drift detection, threat monitoring, and blocking on container hosts. Integration with Google Security Operations lets analysts investigate in either platform, with threat status, severity, and comments syncing in real time. Wiz describes the product for SOC, threat intelligence, and incident response teams. Licensing is modular, with pricing by request; there is no free plan.
