Case Study: Cresta reduces vulnerability findings by 99% with Oligo Security

Cresta Reduces Vulnerability Numbers by >99% with Oligo Security

Cresta, an AI-powered contact center company, was struggling with noisy and expensive software composition analysis tools that flooded its small security team and 70 developers with far too many vulnerability findings. When Robert Kugler became the company’s first security hire, he needed a way to improve security fast without damaging engineering productivity or security culture.

With Oligo Security, Cresta used runtime visibility into executed libraries and vulnerable functions to separate real risk from false positives and focus only on actionable issues. The team reduced vulnerability numbers by more than 99%, improved prioritization, and shifted AppSec to owning escalations and draft PRs; Robert also said Oligo’s customer-obsessed support helped feedback appear in the product quickly.
