"Aikido Endpoint runs on the endpoint itself and is designed to ensure that threats are blocked before they reach the developer's device via an installation. It does this, among other things, by using specific default settings tailored for this purpose."
"Existing security tools typically focus on repositories, CI/CD pipelines, or package managers, according to Aikido Security, not on the device itself. Aikido Endpoint works differently, the company claims."
"The target of these attacks was always the same: the developer's endpoint. After all, developers' machines contain a wealth of information that attackers are eager to obtain."
Aikido Security is launching Aikido Endpoint, a lightweight agent aimed at protecting developers' endpoints from supply chain attacks. The tool blocks high-risk packages, IDE extensions, browser plugins, and AI tools prior to installation. Developers are frequent targets for attackers due to the sensitive information on their machines. Aikido Endpoint operates differently from existing security tools by monitoring installations directly on the device, utilizing specific settings like blocking packages published within the last 48 hours. It is built on Safe Chain, an open-source CLI firewall that has gained significant traction.
