Aikido

vs. Snyk

• ›Aikido covers 12+ capabilities (SAST, CSPM, DAST, secrets, IaC) — Snyk is primarily SCA/code
• ›85% less noise — one platform means no alert duplication across tools
• ›Non-sneaky pricing — Snyk's per-contributor model scales expensively
• ›Aikido includes AI AutoFix and autonomous pentesting (Aikido Attack) — Snyk does not

vs. Wiz

• ›Aikido covers code + CI/CD + cloud in one platform — Wiz is cloud posture only
• ›Aikido is developer-first: integrates directly into GitHub/GitLab workflows at the code level
• ›Significantly lower cost — Wiz targets enterprise; Aikido is accessible to all org sizes
• ›Aikido includes DAST, secrets detection, and autonomous pentesting beyond cloud posture

vs. Veracode / Checkmarx

• ›Aikido deploys in minutes — legacy SAST tools require weeks of integration and tuning
• ›AI AutoFix provides one-click remediation — traditional tools provide findings with no fix path
• ›Aikido covers code, cloud, containers, IaC, and APIs in one tool; Veracode/Checkmarx are code-only
• ›Developer-friendly UX vs compliance-heavy enterprise interfaces

vs. Semgrep

• ›Aikido covers CSPM, DAST, SCA, secrets, and container scanning — Semgrep is SAST only
• ›Aikido requires no rule writing — Semgrep demands significant custom rule investment
• ›Aikido includes AI AutoFix and cloud security; Semgrep does not

Replacing Five Security Tools with One Consolidated Platform

A partner's DevOps client is running Snyk for SCA, Semgrep for SAST, Wiz for cloud posture, a separate secrets scanner, and a manual DAST process — generating overlapping alerts from five separate consoles. Aikido consolidates all five capabilities into a single platform, reducing noise by 85% and cutting monthly tooling spend. The partner earns a margin on the Aikido subscription while delivering a cleaner, simpler security posture to the client.

Automating ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Evidence for a Growing Tech Company

A technology startup approaching its first ISO 27001 audit uses Aikido to automate control evidence collection. Aikido syncs SAST findings, dependency vulnerability data, IaC misconfiguration results, and cloud security posture directly into their Vanta compliance platform — eliminating weeks of manual screenshot gathering. The partner positions Aikido alongside the CRS ISO 27001 readiness engagement, creating an integrated DevSecOps and compliance delivery.

Delivering Autonomous AI Pentesting Without a Red Team

A partner's mid-market client wants continuous penetration testing but cannot justify a dedicated offensive security function. Aikido Attack — the platform's autonomous AI pentesting agent — runs continuous attack simulations against the client's applications and APIs, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities beyond what static analysis finds. The partner packages Aikido Attack findings into quarterly offensive security briefings, adding a new professional services revenue stream.

What scanning capabilities does Aikido include in a single platform?

Aikido includes: SAST (Static Application Security Testing), SCA (dependency and open-source vulnerability scanning), DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing), secrets detection, IaC (Infrastructure as Code) scanning, CSPM across AWS/Azure/GCP, container image scanning, and autonomous AI pentesting via Aikido Attack. This replaces the need for separate tools like Snyk, Wiz, Orca, Semgrep, and Veracode.

What is AI AutoFix and how does it work?

AI AutoFix is Aikido's one-click remediation feature. When a SAST or IaC vulnerability is detected, Aikido's AI generates a code-level fix that can be applied directly to the repository with a single click — without requiring the developer to understand the underlying security issue in depth. It integrates with GitHub and GitLab, making secure remediation part of the developer's existing workflow.

What is Aikido Attack?

Aikido Attack is Aikido's autonomous AI pentesting agent. It continuously simulates real-world attack scenarios against your applications and infrastructure, identifying exploitable vulnerabilities that static analysis cannot find. It provides audit-grade penetration testing results accessible from day one — without requiring a dedicated offensive security team or scheduling external engagements.

Does Aikido support compliance frameworks like ISO 27001 or SOC 2?

Yes. Aikido syncs security findings and control evidence directly to compliance platforms including Vanta, Drata, Sprinto, Thoropass, and Secureframe. This automates evidence collection for ISO 27001, SOC 2, and similar frameworks — significantly reducing the manual effort required for security audits and control documentation.

Does Aikido require custom configuration or rule writing to get started?

No. Aikido is designed for immediate time-to-value — connect your code repositories and cloud environments, and scanning begins automatically with no custom rule writing. Aikido reduces alert noise by 85% compared to running equivalent individual tools, applying intelligent deduplication and context-aware prioritisation from the start.
