How it works
How Aikido works
Connect your code, cloud & containers
It does't matter on which tool stack you are. Aikido connects with most popular stacks and scans continuously for issues.
Get relevant security alerts
No need to sift through hundreds of security alerts. Only few of them really matter. Aikido auto-triages notifications.

Features
Features that you'll love
Code scanning
Scans your source code for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows and other security risks. Checks against popular CVE databases.
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 before a DAST scan, to test as much 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Protect your application from outdated runtimes that could be vulnerable. Outdated runtimes are typically a forgotten issue, but could pose big security risks.
Integrated into your IDE
Detect vulnerabilities in base image dependencies, Dockerfile commands, and Kubernetes workloads while coding to fix issues early and save development time.
CI/CD Integration
Automatically scan for vulnerabilities within the CI/CD during build and test your running environments to keep new vulnerabilities out.
Automated triaging
Aikido checks if you're using a certain function. If not, it's clearly a false positive and it's automatically triaged.
Read our docs
When Aikido finds a vulnerability, it will report these issues as one issue. Unlike other scanners that will overload you with 20 separate issues if the affected function is found multiple times.
Over 30 auto-ignore rules filter out false positives. You can feed Aikido with information to automatically adapt severity scores. (What's staging/production? What resources you consider critical?)

FAQ
Does Aikido require agents?
No! Unlike others, Zen by Aikido integrates directly into your application with no need for external agents. Deployment is as simple as adding a single line of code (importing a package), so you’re up and running in mere minutes. This approach is fast, lightweight, and far 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.
