Oligo Security, the runtime security company, has announced it has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026. This year’s list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations, with Oligo recognized for its novel approach that unifies runtime visibility and protection for applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems.
Oligo Security was named to Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2026.
The company was recognized for its runtime security platform unifying protection across applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems.
Oligo launched Runtime AI Security, an extension protecting AI workloads in production, selected as AWS Security Hub’s official runtime AI security partner.
The company discovered high-impact vulnerabilities in Fluent Bit (coordinated with AWS) and Apple’s AirPlay protocol enabling wormable zero-click RCE.
Oligo was also named to the Fortune Cyber 60 and SINET16 lists.
The Fast Company recognition highlights organizations driving change with bold ideas and measurable impact.
“Being named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies list reflects what our customers already know: runtime is the only reliable source of truth for modern cloud security,” said Nadav Czerninski, co-founder and CEO of Oligo Security. “This recognition speaks to the dedication of our team and the trust of our customers, and reflects a broader industry shift as organizations recognize that real-time security starts with understanding code execution at runtime.”
Over the past year, Oligo has strengthened its leadership position in the runtime security market through platform expansion, threat research that advanced the industry’s understanding of modern attacks, and strong adoption among Fortune 500 companies. This momentum is reflected in several key milestones, including:
The launch of Oligo Runtime AI Security, an extension of Oligo’s platform that protects AI workloads in production.
Oligo Runtime AI Security being selected for AWS Security Hub Extended as AWS’s official runtime AI security partner.
AI research breakthroughs, including the first self-replicating attack campaign exploiting AI infrastructure and critical vulnerabilities in leading frameworks from Anthropic, Meta, NVIDIA, and others.
The discovery of high-impact vulnerabilities in Fluent Bit, a core component of modern cloud environments, disclosed in coordination with AWS, as well as vulnerabilities in Apple’s AirPlay protocol that enabled wormable zero-click remote code execution (RCE) on billions of devices.
Industry recognition, such as being named to the Fortune Cyber 60 and SINET16, a list of innovative security companies selected by 100 CISOs and risk executives.
Today’s security solutions are built around silos that no longer reflect how attacks happen. They provide passive visibility, surfacing the symptoms of successful attacks or flagging theoretical vulnerabilities that may never materialize. Oligo changes this by delivering runtime security that unifies protection across applications, cloud workloads, and AI systems. By observing what actually runs in production, Oligo identifies which vulnerabilities are truly exploitable, detects malicious behavior as it happens, and blocks exploit attempts without impacting production. This approach enables security teams to cut through alert noise, protect critical systems from known and unknown threats, and ground their programs in the only source of truth that matters: what actually happens at runtime.
The World’s Most Innovative Companies is Fast Company’s hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company’s editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.
“Our list of the Most Innovative Companies is about spotlighting organizations that don’t just adapt to change—they drive it,” said Brendan Vaughan, editor-in-chief of Fast Company. “The companies we honor this year are redefining what leadership looks like in 2026, pairing bold ideas with measurable impact and turning breakthrough innovation into real-world value. They are setting the pace for their industries and offering a blueprint for what sustained innovation can achieve.”
