What is Aikido Security?

Aikido Security is a developer-focused security platform that combines four key scanning capabilities in one tool: Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Software Composition Analysis (SCA), Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and secrets detection. It's designed to catch security issues early in the development process, rather than waiting for later stages. The platform integrates with your existing development workflow and repositories, making it easier for teams to identify and fix vulnerabilities without disrupting their build process. Aikido aims to reduce the friction between security teams and developers by presenting findings in a way that's relevant to how code is actually written and deployed.

Key features

SAST scanning

Analyses your source code for common security vulnerabilities and coding errors

SCA (Software Composition Analysis)

Identifies known vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies and libraries

CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management)

Checks cloud infrastructure configuration for misconfigurations and compliance issues

Secrets detection

Finds accidentally committed secrets, API keys, and credentials in your codebase

Repository integration

Connects directly to GitHub, GitLab, and other version control systems for continuous scanning

Developer-friendly dashboard

Presents security findings in context, linked to the code that triggered them

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • All-in-one approach means fewer separate tools to manage and integrate
  • Free plan allows individuals and small teams to get started without cost
  • Focuses on developer experience, making security feedback actionable rather than just alarming
  • Integrates directly into common development platforms and workflows

Limitations

  • Paid plans start at $314 per month, which may be steep for very small teams
  • As an all-in-one tool, it may not match the depth or specialisation of dedicated SAST or CSPM solutions
  • Requires integration with your repository or cloud provider, which assumes a modern development setup

Use cases

Scanning pull requests automatically to catch security issues before code is merged

Identifying vulnerable dependencies in projects early in development

Checking cloud infrastructure for common misconfigurations across multiple accounts

Finding hardcoded secrets and credentials that shouldn't be in version control

Helping teams meet compliance requirements by tracking security posture over time
