Aikido Security unifies application and cloud security into a single platform that finds, prioritises, and fixes vulnerabilities from code to runtime. It includes SAST, SCA, and cloud posture scanning alongside AI-powered AutoFix pull requests. Engineering teams replace a stack of point tools with one dashboard that deduplicates alerts and removes the noise that drowns most security programmes.
The platform covers SAST, SCA, IaC, container, DAST, secrets, malware, and licence scanning, plus the Zen runtime firewall that blocks injection attacks live in production. Repositories are cloned into isolated, ephemeral containers that are hard-deleted after analysis, and integrations span GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure Pipelines, and Jira.
Key benefits:
- All-in-one coverage across code, dependencies, cloud, containers, and runtime
- AutoFix pull requests generated automatically for reviewable remediation
- AutoTriage deprioritising low-risk alerts using contextual analysis
- Zen runtime protection blocking injection and bot attacks in production
- Native DevOps integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and Jira
- Ephemeral scanning with repositories hard-deleted after every analysis
Aikido Security is headquartered in Ghent, Belgium, founded in 2022, and hosts customer data in the European Union. The platform is SOC 2 Type II compliant and ISO 27001:2022 certified, with GDPR-aligned processing and a data-minimising architecture trusted by 50,000+ organisations.
