Secure everything, compromise nothing.
Aikido finds and fixes vulnerabilities in your code, cloud, and runtime. One platform, zero noise. And yes, they have cats.
Who Are Aikido?
Aikido Security is a Belgian startup that built the security platform developers actually want to use. They combine code scanning, cloud security, AI pentesting, and runtime protection into one unified system. No more juggling six different tools that all scream at you.
Founded in 2022 by Willem Delbare and Felix Garriau, they've grown ridiculously fast. They raised a $60M Series B in January 2026, hitting a $1B valuation. Over 50,000 organisations trust them, including companies like Visma, GEA, and Birdie. Their secret? They cut through 95% of the noise other security tools throw at you.

AI Pentesting In Action
Watch how Aikido's AI agents autonomously pentest your app. Hundreds of agents work in parallel, testing real attack paths like a red team on caffeine.
Hit "Run" to watch AI agents pentest an app in real time
Traditional pentests take weeks to schedule and cost a fortune. Aikido's AI pentest runs in minutes, finds real vulnerabilities (not theoretical ones), and gives you an audit-grade report for SOC 2 or ISO 27001 compliance.
The AI agents map your attack surface first, then run hundreds of parallel tests across your app. Every finding is verified against your live target. No false positives, no hallucinations. Just real, exploitable vulnerabilities with reproduction steps and fixes.
The Sponsorship Story
Aikido has been a long-term sponsor of the coding.kitty channel, so when #hackthekitty came around, they were all in. Security and cats? That's basically their entire brand.
They genuinely care about making security accessible to developers. Their platform is free to start, their open-source projects (Opengrep, Zen, Betterleaks) are used by thousands, and they believe the best security happens when developers actually enjoy using the tools. Which, let's be honest, is rare in this industry.
Their support helps us keep #hackthekitty free, fund prizes, and make sure every participant has a brilliant experience. Massive thanks to the entire Aikido team for backing what we're building here.
