Pull requests that don't break your build
Dependabot bumps you to the next fixed version, breaking changes included. Aikido Libraries patches CVEs on the version you already use, so the PR is always safe to merge.
A patched dependency isn't a secure application.
Closing one CVE doesn't mean your software is secure. Aikido secures your entire SDLC, from code to cloud to runtime.

Aikido vs Dependabot
Dependabot forces you to choose between breaking changes or vulnerabilities.
Forces you to upgrade
Dependabot ships the smallest version bump that resolves the CVE, but it’s still a version bump, including any breaking changes.
Ships more than the fix
Dependabot's PRs ship the maintainer's release, including any breaking changes
The rest goes unscanned
Dependabot stops at the packages you install. Your own code, secrets, containers and cloud config get no coverage, so each one needs its own tool.
Aikido Libraries does more than bump the version

Closes the backlog, not just today's alert
Every dependency with a secured variant gets fixed the same way, on the same cadence. Teams stop reopening the same CVE conversation every sprint.
Applies across your whole protected set
Frees engineering time for roadmap work
No repeat tickets for CVEs you've already closed
“Aikido let our engineers get back to what they do best building advanced defense systems without getting bogged down in CVE cleanup. It's helped us win projects, build trust, and stay ahead of schedule.”
Sam StentonHead of DevOps & Platform, SiXworks
Why teams choose Aikido over Dependabot
No forced upgrades
Patch the CVE without touching your API surface or your test suite
Security across the whole SDLC
Catch vulnerabilities in code, dependencies, cloud, and runtime, not just the dependency graph.
Prove what is exploitable
Confirm which vulnerabilities are actually reachable, so teams fix what matters, not what's theoretical.
Merge your fix. Skip migration.
Aikido fixes vulnerabilities in the dependencies you already run, not just the ones you're willing to upgrade.
