My main use case for Aikido Security is vulnerability scanning of our internal applications. We have a development department, and we scan those applications for vulnerabilities and other security issues. In addition to my main use case, we have samples where clients want to see security information reports from our internally developed systems. We generate those reports with Aikido Security, and then we are able to show them how we are aligned with best practices and frameworks such as ISO 27001.

My main use case for Aikido Security is detecting security issues and triaging, and if there is any security risk, we detect and fix those security fixes. I use Aikido Security for detecting and fixing security risks by implementing a DevOps pipeline using a static application security testing tool, which helps automate the detection of exposed secrets and checks for any malicious open-source packages, making it easier for developers to prepare a list of issues they need to fix. Our goal is to ensure all repositories are free from any security issues, monitor cloud configurations that are not done correctly, scan images for runtime threats, and perform automated penetration testing to simulate real-world attacks, detecting any loopholes. It also helps improve developers' productivity by filtering out false positives and generating AI fixes with a single click for identified vulnerabilities. The main use case for Aikido Security is to perform static application security testing whenever a developer checks in code to ensure there is no malicious code checked in.
I have been using Aikido Security for approximately more than one year, primarily for securing our development pipelines and scanning our codebase for vulnerabilities across multiple projects. The use case is definitely developer-first vulnerability management. Aikido Security nests directly in our development workflow and it catches security issues before they reach production. It integrates with GitHub very well. Pull requests get automatically scanned. From that point of view, security becomes part of development rather than an afterthought.
I used Aikido Security at my previous organization for almost two to three weeks because we had to achieve SOC 2 compliance for our current codebase. The main use case for Aikido Security was to resolve the vulnerabilities in the packages we were using. I wanted to remove the vulnerabilities from them and update to the latest stable version. A couple of code changes along with package changes were also involved. Aikido Security helped me with the vulnerabilities and package updates through a simple workflow where I just had to open Aikido Security dashboard, connect my GitHub account, select the repository and scan it. After scanning it, Aikido Security would raise a PR for each vulnerability, specifying what those vulnerabilities were. I would then merge the PR, and it would also run the test cases that I already had attached to my codebase. Regarding my main use case with the workflow, the process was straightforward. However, there was one minor issue that I faced. When I had a UUID for an object in the code, Aikido Security was considering it as a secret key, which it was not. This was a false positive alarm, but it was not a major issue and merely feedback I wanted to provide.
Aikido Security has been in use for a little over a year, starting as a security initiative from the engineering side because code was scattered across multiple repositories, making CI/CD pipeline and security fixes a significant problem. The main use case for Aikido Security is application security across the development life cycle, primarily for dependency vulnerability scanning, secret detection, and container image scanning, as the goal was not just finding vulnerabilities, but releasing the backend for different developers while still delivering.
My main use case for Aikido Security is to utilize it as part of our vulnerability management program, where we also scan our images, codes, and manage our SBOM. A specific example of how I use Aikido Security in our vulnerability management program occurs every time new code is pushed into our repositories. Aikido scans for this new code and raises new vulnerabilities within these new codes. Then, with our automations, a Jira ticket gets created, our engineering team takes a look at it, and adjusts security if needed, resolving it within a few days. Additionally, we use Aikido Security to generate a current status of our software, and I have created an automation that daily exports all of the vulnerabilities our software has, groups them by severity, and generates a report that can be shared with our customers.
