Company mission
To fill the gap in the current landscape and offer a product that combines insights from code, containers, and cloud, resulting in a set of unique and high-value security features.
Our take
Startups and mid-sized businesses, in their quest to secure their software, can end up adopting multiple scattered tools, leading to noise and 'false positives' that burden development teams. Alternatively, they might invest in expensive security software solutions that cover only a fraction of application security factors, leaving critical gaps in their software protection.
Aikido has emerged as a solution to the complexities of software security. Its platform is designed to cut through the noise generated by disparate security tools, saving developers valuable time by addressing vulnerabilities based on severity. Interestingly, the company's approach focuses on preventing security issues from entering the code during development, allowing for quick fixes before any breach occurs.
Having secured recent funding, Aikido is positioned to expand its user base across Europe and North America. With a focus on hiring for key roles across product, development, marketing, and sales teams, it is set for continued growth as it contributes to the evolution of secure and efficient SaaS practices.
