Revolut’s engineering team has selected Aikido’s Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to keep its open-source dependencies secure.
Security That Scales With Innovation
When you’re building for 65+ million customers across 39 markets, security can’t be an afterthought. It has to start at the source: your code.
For Revolut, that meant ensuring open-source dependencies were secure, without slowing down its global engineering team. The neobank selected Aikido Security for its developer-first approach to Software Composition Analysis (SCA).
“Aikido’s automation and accuracy help our teams focus on building, not babysitting vulnerabilities.” - Arsalan Ghazi, Head of AppSec, Revolut.
Why Revolut chose a developer-first approach to security
For Revolut, empowering developers to build securely was the only way to keep innovation moving. The team sought a platform that wouldn’t slow delivery, but instead accelerated trust in every commit.
Aikido Security’s developer-first Software Composition Analysis (SCA) aligned perfectly — combining automation, accuracy, and actionable insights inside the tools Revolut’s engineers already use.
Here’s what mattered most:
1. Swift and accurate detection
Aikido’s SCA engine provides fast, reliable scanning that surfaces real vulnerabilities early, directly in pull requests or CI/CD pipelines.
2. Low false positives
High signal, low noise. Revolut’s engineers can trust the alerts they get, focusing on fixing the issues that truly matter.
3. Auto-remediation
Aikido doesn’t stop at detection. It automatically opens pull requests with safe dependency upgrades. That saves time and helps teams stay secure without the manual overhead.
4. Developer experience & productivity
For Revolut, security tools have to work with developers, not against them. Aikido’s responsive UI, fast feedback loops, and seamless integrations (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, etc.) make it simple to act on findings without leaving the dev environment.
Security that moves at Revolut’s speed
Revolut’s adoption of Aikido shows what modern security looks like:
- Developer-first
- Proactive
- Built for speed
By embedding security directly into their development workflow, Revolut’s engineers are catching and fixing issues before they reach production; all without slowing delivery. This turns security from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
“The combination of low false positives and auto-remediation saves our teams hours every week.” - Arsalan Ghazi, Head of AppSec, Revolut
