In the news
- Not sleeping tonight
- Have you ever heard the sound of AI ❓ It roars like a jet engine! I could hear it in Ghent, visiting Aikido Security’s office: a server packed with Nvidia chips, running at full power, using AI to test how well a system stands up to cyberattacks. The engineer showing me around, Selim Decamps, comes from Mons and was hired after selling his company to Aikido. Yet, what struck me much more than the "sound of AI", was the level of ambition at Aikido: your vision of building a world-class champion in AI & cybersecurity in only a few
- Today we’re launching Noon, the modern workforce security platform by Aikido. We started Aikido Security to make securing software radically simpler for devs. But companies don’t just need to protect the software they build. They also need to protect the people. AI has made phishing cheaper, faster, and more convincing. Attackers can clone a colleague’s voice, send targeted emails, and run campaigns across email, SMS, and chat at scale. Meanwhile, employees use AI tools every day, often with little visibility for security
- Aikido Security is now FedRAMP Moderate authorized 🦅 Federal agencies can now use Aikido for Government to identify, triage and fix vulnerabilities at AI-native speed. We got there fast, with our internal team, including Ian Riopel and John A., bringing more than 15 years of US federal security experience. And Aikido's own platform doing much of the work inside the authorization itself, from remediation to evidence generation. https://lnkd.in/e2iiUHuq
- Great evening at Wintercircus Ghent yesterday for the masterclass "How to Secure Your Company in the Age of AI" Our co-founder Babette De Decker shared the stage with Felix Garriau from Aikido Security and Nicolas Noël from Deloitte, each tackling a different side of security, from the perimeter and code to the human and organisational side. Lots of good questions from the room and even better conversations afterwards. Thanks to everyone who joined, and the Wintercircus team for having us! 🙌 #AIsecurity #ThreatToTest
- Most organisations wait until a close call to revisit their security, but staying ahead of modern threats is a lot easier than fixing things after the fact. Our co-founder Babette De Decker along with Felix Garriau (Aikido Security) and Nicolas Noël (Deloitte) are getting together for a quick masterclass on how to catch those subtle vulnerabilities before anyone else does. If you’re around, drop by and say hello! 👋 #securitycontrolvalidation #AIsecurity
- We're excited to announce our partnership with Drata. All new Drata customers now get a complimentary AI pentest from Aikido Security. Autonomous pentesting enables teams to discover, validate, and remediate exploitable vulnerabilities at scale, and get prepared for compliance audits in hours instead of weeks. 🏎️ Check eligibility and claim your pentest: https://lnkd.in/ecitNDvY
- Introducing Altar-1, Aikido’s first frontier-grade security model. Closed frontier models mean your code leaves your network. That's a trade-off many companies are not willing or allowed to make. Yet capable open-weight models remain difficult to deploy at production scale. So we developed Altar, a frontier-grade open-weight model built to perform inside your own infrastructure. Altar allows enterprises to own their own security intelligence. Altar-1 is just the beginning of Aikido Security Labs, our applied AI lab. 🖤 Our work
