Aikido Security

Aikido Security positions itself as an all-in-one application security suite built for developers rather than security specialists. Instead of stitching together separate scanners for dependencies, source code, containers, and cloud configuration, teams get a unified platform that surfaces findings in a single place and integrates directly into existing CI/CD pipelines and IDEs.

The platform covers software composition analysis for open-source dependencies and supply chain malware, static application security testing, secrets and license detection, SBOM generation, and infrastructure-as-code scanning. Cloud security modules add misconfiguration checks, VM and Kubernetes scanning, container image hardening, and attack path analysis. A newer offensive layer provides continuous and external pentests, DAST, and API scanning, while AI AutoFix and deep PR review help developers remediate issues faster.

Aikido is aimed at startups, scale-ups, and mid-market engineering organizations that need broad security coverage without managing many point tools. It also serves compliance-driven teams in fintech, healthtech, and similar regulated industries that need SBOMs and vulnerability management evidence, as well as agencies and group companies overseeing multiple codebases.

A practical approach is to start by connecting repositories and cloud accounts to get visibility, then enable auto-fix and PR blocking gradually so developers are not overwhelmed. Teams should verify which features
