About Aikido Security
Aikido Security is a commercial application security platform that gathers many scanners behind one interface so that small and growing teams do not need to assemble separate tools. It aims to keep developers focused on building by running continuous, automated checks across code, cloud infrastructure and running applications, and by proposing fixes.
On the code side it covers dependency scanning, supply chain malware detection, static analysis including an AI-based variant, secrets, licenses and SBOMs, outdated software and a pull request reviewer. Cloud tooling includes misconfiguration detection, virtual machine and Kubernetes scanning, container images, data security posture and attack path analysis, while offensive features include DAST, API scanning, attack surface monitoring and continuous pentests. Runtime protection is also offered.
Aikido is proprietary and sold as a hosted subscription with a published pricing page. Its site highlights AI AutoFix, CI/CD and IDE integrations, compliance automation for frameworks such as SOC 2 and ISO, and an on-premises scanning option for teams with stricter requirements.
