With the threat landscape evolving daily and new vulnerabilities surfacing every hour, relying on annual or seasonal penetration testing leaves organizations dangerously exposed during the long gaps between assessments. Continuous pentesting closes this “risk window”, providing real-time insights into emerging security gaps, enabling early detection and remediation, and helping teams stay agile against attacks that don’t follow predictable schedules. This proactive approach is now essential for both compliance and risk management, ensuring strong protection and better business resilience without relying on outdated, point-in-time security snapshots.
Aikido Security has rapidly elevated its pentest capabilities by acquiring Allseek and Haicker, introducing autonomous AI-driven penetration tests that run in hours instead of weeks and reason like real-world attackers. The platform now combines advanced static and dynamic scanning, real-time threat detection, and creative human-led pentesting expertise into a single bundle, delivering actionable results with 90% less noise and seamless integration into cloud and code environments.
What’s Unique About Aikido’s New Pentest Features
Aikido’s “Attack” suite deploys AI agents that simulate hacker tactics, chaining vulnerabilities and adapting to each application or cloud setup, giving teams real insight into exploitable risks as they continuously arise, not once per year.
Instead of relying solely on automated scanners, its creative bug bounty-expert pentesters leverage live security data from Aikido’s monitoring platform for smarter, targeted manual assessments, turning every pentest into a strategic learning opportunity rather than a checklist.
The new bundle integrates SAST, DAST, SCA, cloud posture, and secrets detection, all mapped to compliance frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001, and accessible via a unified, developer-friendly dashboard.
Automated AutoTriage and IDE plugins allow teams to instantly detect, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities, drastically reducing manual triage time and accelerating secure code delivery.
Why Security Teams Love the Upgrade
Pentests now run instantly and continuously, not just as paid one-off engagements, helping security teams close gaps and prove compliance all-year round, with half the cost and double the actionable findings.
By combining autonomous AI agents with creative human expertise, Aikido delivers a blended approach: deep, contextual insights with real hacker techniques, transforming penetration testing from a time-consuming audit into an agile, ongoing security solution.
Teams also benefit from 90% less alert fatigue, as Aikido filters out false positives and emphasizes issues that truly matter for live business risk.
These new features set Aikido apart as a next-gen pentest platform, providing continuous, contextual, and collaborative security that fits modern DevSecOps workflows.
