Aikido launches agentic AI Code Audit

While SAST has historically been plagued by false positives and DAST by complex setup requirements, Aikido Code Audit attempts to strike a middle ground using agentic LLMs to reason about codebase architecture. By focusing on exploit chains and business logic without requiring a live environment, it brings pentest-grade insight earlier into the development lifecycle, though its success will depend on its speed and the accuracy of its AI reasoning.

* Agentic Code Reasoning: Moves beyond simple line-by-line linting to analyze how components interact, finding complex issues like authentication bypasses and privilege escalation.

* Zero-Environment Friction: Scans repositories directly without requiring staging URLs, test credentials, or active scan configurations.

* Exploit Evidence: Generates clear code-based trace routes showing how vulnerabilities can be chained and exploited, reducing developer triage time.
