Oligo Security Named to Rising in Cyber 2026 List of Top Cybersecurity Startups
CISO-Voted List Recognizes the 30 Private Cybersecurity Companies Shaping Enterprise Security in the Age of AI
Oligo Security, the runtime security company, today announced its inclusion in Rising in Cyber 2026, an independent annual list launched by Notable Capital to recognize the 30 most promising private cybersecurity startups. Now in its third year, Rising in Cyber has become a trusted signal of what is actually moving the needle in enterprise security.
Unlike traditional rankings, Rising in Cyber honorees are selected through voting by 150 active CISOs and senior security executives; the result is a reliable signal of what security teams are actually adopting to address their most urgent challenges.
Oligo Security joins a cohort that has collectively raised over $6.9 billion, according to PitchBook, and is defining the next generation of cybersecurity across critical areas, including identity and access management, agentic AI security, security operations, and application defense.
The 2026 honorees were named alongside the release of the Rising in Cyber 2026 Report, produced in collaboration with Morgan Stanley. The report draws on CISO survey data and market analysis to map how the cybersecurity industry is evolving from AI agents reshaping security operations to a historic surge in strategic M&A, and separates signal from noise for investors, operators, and security leaders.
“Security is now moving from a constraint to an enabler on how fast AI can actually scale inside the enterprise. The 150 CISOs who voted on this list understand that better than anyone,” said Oren Yunger, Managing Partner, Notable Capital. “Congratulations to this year’s Rising in Cyber honorees for earning their trust.”
Honorees will be recognized at a private event on May 12 at the New York Stock Exchange in San Francisco alongside top security leaders and investors.
“Being named to the Rising in Cyber 2026 list is a reflection of what the industry knows to be true: modern security programs must be built on runtime visibility and protection,” said Nadav Czerninski, co-founder and CEO, Oligo Security. “In a post-Mythos world, AI is accelerating vulnerability discovery and exploit development faster than traditional security models can adapt. The organizations that will succeed are the ones that can stop exploitation in real time without disrupting the business.”
Oligo’s inclusion in the Rising in Cyber 2026 list comes on the heels of significant momentum for the company. Recent milestones include:
- Launched Runtime Exploit Blocking, a new capability that stops exploit attempts at the application layer in real time without impacting uptime.
- Selected for AWS Security Hub Extended as AWS’s official runtime AI security partner.
- Named to Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, Fortune’s Cyber 60, and SINET16, which recognizes leading security companies selected by 100 CISOs and risk executives.
