"A first key lies in its clear positioning: Aikido resolutely opts for a developer-first approach, positioning developers as the primary users and decision-makers. "Traditional security tools focus on the CISO or the security team," said Johan De Keulenaer, head of partnerships, earlier. "They choose a solution, and then the poor developer has to use it. We turn that around: for us, the developer is both the user and the buyer.""
"For IT teams, this is not a minor detail. Security is no longer a separate phase after development, but a continuous part of the process. Tools that do not fit into developers' daily workflow are ignored or circumvented. Aikido addresses this by integrating with popular development environments such as Visual Studio Code and PyCharm, where vulnerabilities become visible the moment code is written, not weeks later in a report."
Aikido is a Belgian cyber scale-up that reached a $1 billion valuation, becoming the fastest European unicorn. The company offers a platform to secure software and cloud infrastructure. Aikido adopts a developer-first approach, positioning developers as primary users and buyers. Security is integrated into development workflows rather than treated as a separate phase. The platform integrates with Visual Studio Code and PyCharm to show vulnerabilities as code is written. Aikido emphasizes relevance by reducing noisy alerts and avoiding the 'cry wolf effect.' The approach aims to prevent developers from ignoring security notifications and to accelerate secure software delivery across cloud environments.
