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

Features that you'll love

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 & K8s 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.

Orchestrate security follow-up

Aikido is API-first. Easily integrate with your project management tools, task managers, chat apps,.. Sync your security findings and status to Jira. Vulnerability fixed? Jira syncs back to Aikido. Get chat alerts for new findings, routed to the correct team or person for each project.
