Palantir FedStart is a SaaS offering and strategic initiative designed to help innovative companies navigate the process of achieving FedRAMP authorization and Department of Defense (DoD) Impact Level accreditation. Through FedStart, Oligo will leverage Palantir’s established security infrastructure, cloud expertise, and deep government compliance experience to significantly reduce the time required to achieve Authority to Operate (ATO) for federal deployments.
“Security teams can no longer afford to detect attacks after an attacker has a foothold,” said Nadav Czerninski, Co-Founder and CEO, Oligo Security. “Modern attacks are AI-assisted, move at high velocity, and exploit gaps where most tools have no visibility: at runtime. Through Palantir’s FedStart program, we’re bringing real-time protection to federal agencies, enabling them to better prioritize risk and stop attacks as they happen.”
Traditional security solutions are built around silos that no longer reflect how attacks happen. They provide passive visibility, flagging theoretical vulnerabilities that may never materialize, or worse, surfacing the symptoms of successful attacks.
Oligo changes the legacy security mindset 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 security programs in the only source of truth that matters: what happens at runtime.
Palantir’s FedStart program provides technology companies with access to Palantir’s proven secure software development infrastructure, compliance frameworks, and government accreditation expertise. The program’s goal is to make the path to federal compliance faster while maintaining rigorous standards for security and enabling innovative companies to deliver trusted solutions to the agencies that need them.
“By joining the FedStart program, Oligo Security can accelerate its path to achieving FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 authorization and bring their unique technology to government customers,” said Ali Monfre, Head of Palantir’s FedStart Program. “We’re excited to support Oligo as they work to deliver their software to the government partners who need it.”
