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 has become the fastest capitalised startup in Belgian history. Fueled by this, the team is now setting its sight on further growing the platform and making a name for itself on a global level.
