Big news! DevSecOps, EU-based company @Aikido Security just announced a $60M Series B at a $1B valuation.
@madelinelawren wrote in their blog announcement:
Today, Aikido is used by 100,000+ teams globally, including customers like the Premier League, SoundCloud, Niantic, and Revolut. Over the past year, we grew revenue 5x and more than tripled our customer base. (...)
The next chapter is about self-securing software. Not security as a reactive activity with dashboards and manual weeks long testing. Rather, software that can secure itself on demand.

Great product, if I do so say myself. 👌

@flxg Haha, love the confidence 👌

@flxg totally unbiased 👌
How does Aikido's architecture ensure the security of our data? Do you store any of our intellectual property?
Aikido Security
@kalabumba We don't store your source code. Our scanning process is stateless: we clone the repo into a temporary container for analysis and then immediately dispose of it after the scan is complete. This ensures your code is never persistently stored on our servers.
Does Aikido scan for cloud misconfigurations? We’re worried about exposed S3 buckets and overly permissive IAM roles.
Aikido Security
@otis_wu Our Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) feature does exactly that. It continuously scans your cloud environment (AWS, Azure, GCP) for misconfigurations and other security risks, helping you maintain a secure posture and prevent common breaches.
With so many new open-source vulnerabilities, how do you keep your vulnerability database up to date?
Aikido Security
@pilvar We continuously monitor multiple public and private vulnerability databases and intelligence feeds. Our platform is always checking for new CVEs and other risks, so you get alerted as soon as a new vulnerability affecting your dependencies is discovered.
What kind of reporting and dashboards does the platform offer? We need to report on our security posture to leadership.
Aikido Security
@shola_david Our platform offers intuitive dashboards that give you a real-time view of your security posture. You can generate custom reports on vulnerabilities over time, remediation trends, and compliance status to share with stakeholders.
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 Securing modern software stacks is more critical than ever. How does Aikido Security prioritize and automate vulnerability detection across cloud, code, and runtime? Also, are there features for compliance reporting or integrating with CI/CD pipelines for continuous monitoring?
Aikido Security
@sneh_shah Thanks a lot! 🚀 Aikido focuses on prioritizing reachable vulnerabilities, so you only see what really matters across cloud, code, and runtime. CI/CD integrations are built-in, and compliance reporting is part of the package too — keeping things continuous and developer-friendly.
How do you ensure that developers actually use the tool and don't just ignore the security alerts?
Aikido Security
@justinborja We designed Aikido to be a tool developers want to use. By reducing noise and providing clear, actionable feedback with autofix options, we make security a rewarding part of their job, not a chore. We empower them to fix issues quickly and get back to coding.
