Features
Features that you'll love
All-in-one security
Detecting vulnerabilities (CVEs) is just the tip of the iceberg. Dependabot only does that, while Aikido combines tools like Infrastructure as code scanning, surface monitoring (DAST), cloud misconfiguration detection, secrets detection, SAST, and much more.
Static Code Analysis
Aikido performs static analysis (SAST) by scanning the source code to identify potential security vulnerabilities without executing the code. It works out-of-the-box and supports all languages.

Authenticated DAST
Authenticated DAST logs in as a user to test as many parts of the application as possible. Note: It is advised to never run these scans on a production server.

Toxic combination analysis
When you link domains to your repo’s, Aikido will check for toxic combo’s. Toxic combo’s are known vulnerabilities that, combined, are dangerous and critical to fix.
End-of-life Runtimes
Protect your application from outdated runtimes that could be vulnerable. Outdated runtimes are typically a forgotten issue, but could pose big security risks.
CI/CD Integration
Automatically scan for vulnerabilities within the CI/CD during build and test your running environments to keep new vulnerabilities out.
Integrated into your IDE
Detect vulnerabilities in base image dependencies, Dockerfile commands, and Kubernetes workloads while coding, so you can fix issues early.
Malware detection
The npm ecosystem is susceptible to malicious packages being published because of its open nature.
Aikido identifies malicious code that may be embedded within JavaScript files or npm packages. Powered by Phylum. (Scans for backdoors, trojans, keyloggers, XSS, cryptojacking scripts and more.)

Automated triaging
When Aikido finds vulnerabilities, it will report duplicate issues as one issue. Unlike other scanners that will overload you with many separate issues if the affected function is found multiple times.
Aikido's auto-ignore rules filter out false positives. On top of that, you can feed Aikido with information to automatically adapt severity scores. (What's staging/production? What resources you consider critical?)

FAQ
Is Aikido's software pentested?
Yes. We run a yearly pentest on our platform and also have an ongoing bug bounty program to ensure the security of Zen is continuously tested by a wide range of security experts.
Does Aikido require agents?
No! Unlike others, we're fully API based, no agents are needed to deploy Aikido! This way you're up & running in mere minutes & we're way less intrusive!
I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?
Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!
What happens to my data?
We clone the repositories inside of temporary environments (such as docker containers unique to you). Those containers are disposed of, after analysis. The duration of the test and scans themselves take about 1-5 mins. All the clones and containers are then auto-removed after that, always, every time, for every customer.
