Aikido Attack

The core of Aikido Attack is a set of AI agents that behave like a creative human tester. They don't just match patterns against a database. They explore your app, form hypotheses about where it might break, and try to exploit those spots. Ever watched a scanner flag four hundred issues and wondered which one actually matters? These agents answer that by chaining small weaknesses together until one chain reaches something valuable, the same way a patient attacker would work through a target over a full day. The result is fewer false alarms and more findings that map to a real attack path someone could actually walk.

You get a full SOC2 or ISO27001 style PDF report in a few hours instead of weeks. That turnaround changes who can use pentesting. It's no longer a once-a-year event you schedule a quarter ahead. It becomes something you can run when a deal or a launch demands it, which means the security conversation stops being a blocker on the roadmap and starts being a checkbox you clear in an afternoon.

After you patch a finding, you can kick off a retest immediately and get confirmation the fix holds. This closes the loop that bugs most teams. With a traditional pentest, you fix the issue and then wait months for the original vendor to come back and verify, often at extra cost. That gap between shipping the fix and proving it works is where regressions hide, and closing it in minutes rather than months is the difference between a security process people trust and one they quietly ignore.

Before it attacks, Aikido Attack maps what you've exposed. It surfaces your API endpoints and the wider attack surface, including shadow APIs you may have forgotten. You can't defend what you can't see, and undocumented endpoints are where a lot of real breaches start.

Aikido Attack sits alongside the platform's DAST, the live-app testing that runs against a working system rather than reading source code. That means the static checks you run in CI and the active exploitation tests here feed the same system, so you get both the code-level warnings and proof of which ones are exploitable.

The service runs against your target with read-only access, and Aikido says your data won't be shared. For teams that are nervous about pointing an automated tool at production, this lowers the barrier. It also means you aren't handing long-lived credentials to a tool you just met. Security teams often block new tools for exactly this reason, and a scoped, read-only connection removes the objection before it derails the rollout.
