    Unified Security Platform

    Aikido Security offers a unified application security platform that integrates various security measures, simplifying the security process for development teams. This platform emphasizes 'self-securing software,' enabling continuous testing and validation as software is developed.

    Static Application Security Testing (SAST)

    SAST is a key feature of Aikido's platform that analyzes source code for vulnerabilities before the application is run. This proactive approach helps developers identify and fix security issues early in the development lifecycle.

    Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST)

    DAST provides real-time testing of running applications to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited in a live environment. This ensures that security measures are effective and that applications are resilient against potential attacks.

    Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) Scanning

    Aikido's IaC scanning technology assesses infrastructure configurations defined in code for security vulnerabilities. This is crucial for organizations adopting cloud technologies, as it helps secure the infrastructure before deployment.

    Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

    CSPM is a service that continuously monitors cloud environments to ensure compliance with security best practices. Aikido's CSPM capabilities help organizations maintain a strong security posture in their cloud deployments.
