How it works

How Aikido works

Connect your code, cloud & containers

It doesn't matter on which tool stack you are. Aikido connects with most popular stacks and scans continuously for issues.

Get relevant security & code quality alerts

No need to sift through hundreds of alerts. Only few of them really matter. Aikido auto-triages notifications.

Features

Everything You Wish Security Tools Actually Did

Static Code Analysis

Scans your source code for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows and other security risks. Checks against popular CVE databases. It works out-of-the-box and supports all major languages.

Zero-in on real threats with Aikido

DAST & API Security

Monitor your App and APIs to find vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF—both on the surface and via authenticated DAST. Simulate real-world attacks and scan every API endpoint for common security threats. Our Nuclei-based scanner checks your self-hosted apps for common vulnerabilities.

Software Composition Analysis

Analyse third-party components such as libraries, frameworks, and dependencies for vulnerabilities. Aikido does reachability analysis, triages to filter out false positives, and provides clear remediation advice. Auto-fix vulnerabilities with one click.

Container Security

Scan your container operating system for packages with security issues.

  • Checks if your containers have any vulnerabilities (Like CVEs)
  • Highlights vulnerabilities based on container data sensitivity.
  • AutoFix your container images with pre-hardened base images
Virtual Machine Scanning

Infrastructure as code (IaC)

Scans Terraform, CloudFormation & Kubernetes Helm charts for misconfigurations.

  • Detect issues that leave your infrastructure open to attack
  • Identify vulnerabilities before they're committed to the default branch
  • Integrated in CI/CD Pipeline
CI CD Integration

Cloud posture management

Detect cloud infrastructure risks across major cloud providers.

  • Scans Virtual Machines (AWS EC2 instances) for vulnerabilities.
  • Scan your cloud for misconfigurations and overly permissive user roles/access
  • Automate security policies & compliance checks for SOC2, ISO27001, CIS & NIS2

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.)

Aikido malware detection

Protection at Runtime

Block zero-day vulnerabilities. Zen by Aikido detects threats as your application runs and stops attacks in real-time, before they ever reach your database. Block users, bots, countries & restrict IP routes.

Predictable pricing

Aikido provides straightforward tiered plans with feature bundles. Transparent pricing, no surprises.

Why Look for Jit Alternatives

down arrow

Jit.io tries to do everything at once — and that’s part of the problem. Devs mention a steep learning curve, cluttered UI, and slow performance when scaling across projects. Its pricing model is also confusing (what exactly counts as a "contributor"?). That complexity pushes teams toward leaner, faster options.

Why Devs Pick Aikido Over Jit

down arrow

Streamlined UX:

Aikido’s interface shows what matters — no endless toggles or dashboards.

Faster results:

Jit can lag on large projects. Aikido is snappy by default.

Pricing that makes sense:

Per-project, not per-contributor confusion.

Plug-and-play:

Aikido works out of the box — no onboarding sessions needed.

One platform, zero noise:

Everything in one place, minus the overload.

Can I use Aikido to replace both Snyk and other tools like StackHawk or Invicti?

Yes. Aikido covers what most teams need from SAST, SCA, DAST, API security, and more—reducing tool sprawl.

Why are devs switching from Snyk to Aikido?

Snyk users report clunky UX, high costs, too much noise, and limited coverage. Aikido fixes all of that.

Do you charge extra for recursive scans or open source dependencies?

No. Aikido doesn’t nickel-and-dime you for scanning transitive dependencies.

Is Aikido suitable for large teams?

Yes. Aikido scales well across large organizations and consolidates tools to reduce dev and security overhead.

Will I get support if I don’t spend $20k?

Yes. Unlike Snyk, Aikido provides real support no matter your contract size. No tiered nonsense.

Is it hard to switch from Snyk to Aikido?

No. Teams switching typically get up and running in a day. We support rip-and-replace workflows and have already replaced Snyk at companies like Visma and OTHER EXAMPLE.

How does Aikido handle false positives?

Aikido uses advanced filtering and reachability analysis to reduce false positives by ~85%, so developers spend less time triaging noise.

Does Aikido offer better coverage than Snyk?

Yes. Aikido includes DAST, API scanning, CSPM, and malware scanning by default—whereas Snyk often requires separate tools or lacks full coverage.

How does Aikido’s pricing compare to Snyk’s?

Aikido charges a flat, transparent fee. Snyk pricing scales aggressively by developer count, adds-on features (like CI/CD), and typically requires a $20k+ spend for support.

Why would I choose Aikido over Snyk?

Aikido is easier to use, delivers fewer false positives, covers more of the SDLC, and has a transparent pricing model that doesn’t punish you for scale.

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!
