AI-powered penetration testing that delivers same-day results. Deploy autonomous agents that discover, exploit, and validate vulnerabilities across your entire attack surface. Full audit-grade reports in hours. Unlimited retests included. Security moves at the speed of development, not procurement.
How deep does the AI go? Does it do actual real exploitation or just simulated stuff?? i need real stuff!
Aikido Security
@vinolives The agents perform the exploitation like a real human would

Can the AI break your app? 😅
@flxg Great question! Our autonomous agents act like human pentesters: they exploit vulnerabilities to validate them, ensuring you get zero false positives. However, we use safe, non-destructive payloads to prove the risk without crashing the app.
That said, we recommend running on a staging environment so we can test aggressively without impacting production data. 😉
Do I need to give Aikido access to my source code?
Aikido Security
@cj0 Not necessarily, it supports blackbox (without source code) and whitebox (with source code) pentests. We do recommend providing the repositories though for the best results. During benchmarking we notice that the better the context we can provide to the agents, the better they perform. And what is better context than the source code itself ;)
I wonder why did you choose Aikido for naming?
Aikido Security
@igorsorokinua Martial art Aikido is for self defense, and out product is a security product.
How does AI PenTesting compare to traditional DAST tools?
Aikido Security
@alexander_reb It has superpowers over DAST, especially in handling complex login flows and providing the depth of white-box testing that DAST struggles with.
Looks promising but can AI pentesting fully replace human pentesters?
Aikido Security
@woutdeseyn_stack We are convinced that for 90% of the companies, an AI pentest will be sufficient to cover security and compliance needs. Big enterprises with a lower risk tolerance however probably benefit most from a hybrid approach where AI does the grunt of the work, but AI
Looks great! Does the team train its own AI models?
Aikido Security
@bert_coppens No, the foundational models available today are highly capable, so we focus on optimizing their use and don't need to train our own models, which also avoids data handling complexity.
