Enterprise security operates on a broken model - expensive tools, quarterly assessments, and prayers that nothing breaks between reviews. Security has been designed for compliance checkboxes, not actual protection.
That model is collapsing under the weight of modern development velocity. Code ships daily. Threats evolve hourly. Traditional security can't keep up.
The partnership comes as AI and continuous deployment make traditional security cycles obsolete. Enterprises need security that matches their development velocity - not security theatre that pretends quarterly reviews are sufficient.
Together, Aikido Security and Deloitte Belgium are offering enterprise clients something different: comprehensive security that works at development speed.
The core problem that security wasn’t built for developers
Walk into any enterprise development team and you'll find the same dysfunction. Developers juggle 10+ security tools that don't talk to each other. Each tool floods them with alerts - most irrelevant. Security reviews happen quarterly while code ships constantly. Penetration tests take weeks to schedule and deliver results that are outdated before anyone reads them.
As a result, developers tune out. Security teams drown in false positives. Real vulnerabilities slip through because everyone's too overwhelmed to notice.
Traditional security tools are built for CISOs to buy, not for developers to use. That fundamental misalignment creates friction instead of protection.
One platform, complete coverage
Through this partnership, Deloitte brings Aikido's comprehensive platform to enterprises that need security at scale. Not another point solution. One system that secures everything from code to cloud to runtime.
Aikido provides static code analysis that understands context. Dependency scanning across your software supply chain. Secrets detection that catches exposed credentials. Infrastructure-as-code scanning. Cloud posture management across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Container scanning. Runtime protection that blocks attacks as they happen.
The platform now includes continuous security testing through AI-powered agents that work like an entire penetration testing team attacking your systems 24/7. These agents chain vulnerabilities together, adapt their tactics, and find attack paths that traditional scanners miss. When they discover complex threats, human experts can focus on sophisticated analysis instead of time-consuming reconnaissance.
Why developers actually use it:
Aikido reduces irrelevant alerts by 85%. It explains fixes in plain English, not security jargon. It provides automated remediation suggestions. It integrates directly into IDEs, CI/CD pipelines, and Slack - wherever developers already work.
When security improves workflow instead of disrupting it, developers choose to use it. Security actually happens.
How Deloitte makes this work at scale
Aikido provides the technology. Deloitte provides the enterprise transformation expertise to deploy it effectively across complex organizations, ensuring security integrates with existing governance frameworks, compliance requirements, and risk management processes.
Complete SDLC security transformation: Deloitte embeds Aikido across enterprise development - from secure coding practices through continuous compliance monitoring in production. Comprehensive code and cloud protection is built directly into how teams work, spanning development through production.
Seamless deployment and integration: Deloitte manages roll-outs across enterprise environments, trains development teams on workflow integration (not compliance theatre), and customizes implementation for each client's specific practices. The result: security that enhances developer velocity instead of blocking it.
Unified vulnerability management: Enterprise security teams typically juggle data from Nexus repositories, Jira tickets, Excel spreadsheets, Power BI dashboards, and multiple scanning tools. Deloitte consolidates this into unified dashboards that combine Aikido's intelligent prioritization with data from existing tools. Security teams focus on real threats instead of drowning in noise. Leadership gets visibility into actual security posture.
"We're looking forward to embedding Aikido's platform across our clients' entire software development lifecycle," said Andrea Radu, Partner Cyber & Technology Transformation at Deloitte. "This partnership allows us to deliver a comprehensive security transformation - from secure coding practices to continuous compliance monitoring. The enhanced security assessments are just one part of how we're helping enterprises build security into every stage of development."
Johan de Keulenaer, Head of Partnerships at Aikido Security, explains the strategic value: "Our alliance with Deloitte shows our commitment to helping companies of all sizes build security and resilience into their software supply chains. Aikido helps teams prioritize the right risks, catch and stop threats early, and protect everything from code to cloud to catching zero-days in runtime. Deloitte brings the industry know-how to transform enterprise cybersecurity, and together we make secure development faster and more effective."
What changes for development teams
For developers: Security stops blocking pull requests three days before release. It becomes invisible infrastructure that catches problems as you code, explains fixes clearly, and integrates into existing workflows.
For security teams: Stop playing whack-a-mole with reports from six different tools. Get comprehensive visibility with intelligent prioritization that highlights what actually matters.
For leadership: Get continuous security visibility instead of point-in-time snapshots. Demonstrate compliance without grinding development to a halt. Move fast without breaking things.
The necessity of matching development velocity
This is not a nice-to-have. The fundamental problem with enterprise security has always been timing. Development moves daily. Security assessments happen quarterly. That mismatch creates risk.
This partnership solves the timing problem by making security continuous, comprehensive, and usable by the people who write code. Deloitte brings this developer-first approach to enterprises at scale, handling the complexity of integration, governance, and compliance. Aikido provides technology that works without slowing developers down.
It's security that finally matches the speed of modern software development.
