Aikido Wins Glasswall, Ships C++ Scanner

This is less a flashy launch than a strong consolidation signal: buyers are using side-by-side bake-offs to decide which security platform can actually replace a sprawl of point tools.

• –Winning a head-to-head on the same codebase is the kind of proof enterprise security teams trust more than generic feature claims
• –The “3 vendors -> 1 platform” angle points to Aikido’s real wedge: reducing tool sprawl, setup friction, and review noise
• –C++ and vcpkg support matters because legacy and systems-code coverage is where many appsec platforms still lag
• –A two-week turnaround on scanner support suggests Aikido is moving quickly enough to keep enterprise deals from stalling on edge-case language coverage
• –If they can keep coverage broad while staying lightweight, they have a credible replacement story for teams juggling SCA, SAST, and container scanning
