Overview

Aikido is a comprehensive application security platform designed to integrate continuous, autonomous security directly into the software development lifecycle. It aims to empower developers by automating the detection and remediation of vulnerabilities across various stages, from code creation to production deployment. The platform utilizes intelligent agents that build a deep understanding of an application's context to identify real risks and deliver fixes efficiently.

Core Security Offerings

  • Code Security: Includes Software Composition Analysis (SCA) for dependencies, Static Application Security Testing (SAST), AI-powered code audits, deep pull request reviews, secrets detection, and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) generation. It also helps prevent malicious dependencies and ensures CVE-free libraries.

  • Cloud Security: Offers real-time visibility and protection for cloud environments through Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), scanning for virtual machines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Kubernetes, and container images. It also identifies cloud attack paths and manages data security posture (DSPM).

  • Offensive Security: Features continuous pentesting, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), attack surface management, and API scanning to autonomously test running applications and APIs for exploitable vulnerabilities.

  • Runtime Protection: Extends security to devices and runtime environments, providing protection against malware attacks, bot protection, and in-app runtime defense.

The platform integrates deeply with existing development workflows, notifying teams of critical issues and even creating pull requests for automated fixes, thereby reducing the friction between security and development teams.
