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 cybersecurity company building a developer-first platform that helps organisations secure their code, cloud infrastructure and runtime environments from a single solution. By combining capabilities such as code scanning, cloud security, AI-powered testing and runtime protection, Aikido helps security and development teams reduce complexity and focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most.
Founded in 2022 by Willem Delbare, Felix Garriau and Roeland Delrue, Aikido has rapidly grown into one of Europe's fastest-growing cybersecurity companies. In January 2026, the company raised a $60 million Series B funding round at a $1 billion valuation, becoming the fastest-ever European cybersecurity company to reach unicorn status. Today, more than 50,000 organisations use Aikido Security, including companies such as the Premier League, SoundCloud, Revolut and Visma. Just recently, Aikido ranked #1 on the Sifted 100 France & Benelux Leaderboard.
Aikido's mission is to help developers and security teams secure everything they build through a single platform, reducing complexity, cutting alert fatigue and enabling organisations to fix risks faster.

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.
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.
