Why we’re stoked to partner with Laravel
We’re stoked to announce our new partnership with Laravel, the PHP framework for web developers artisans.
TL;DR Laravel helps PHP developers create their best work, now Aikido helps to secure it. 🤝
Laravel is a premier PHP framework and loved by hundreds of thousands of developers worldwide. In fact over 30% of our Aikido user base already leverages Laravel.
As of today, we are Laravel’s preferred AppSec provider. Developers building with Laravel can directly secure their new or existing Forge apps within a few clicks – powered by Aikido.
This integration is designed to help PHP developers get security done. Laravel users get an instant overview of all code and cloud security issues - aggressively auto-triaged - to see what matters and how to fix it. So they can get back to building.
Secure your PHP apps from Day 0
Laravel equips PHP developers with the most advanced tools to create exceptional applications. Laravel does so via a growing suite of standout products like Forge, their premier service to help PHP developers manage servers for their applications. Forge powers over 600k PHP applications.
When it comes to creating exceptional applications, building them is just one part. Keeping them safe is another.
Until now.
From within the Forge UI, developers new to Aikido can set up a workspace and connect their repositories. Once connected, users receive auto-triaged and prioritized security issues, complete with estimated resolution time and full context, across all their PHP applications. Right where they manage them in Forge.
Due to our signature auto-triaging (delivering 85% less false positives!) developers will see what really matters and step-by-step guidance to fix critical issues fast.
All-you-can-eat AppSec for PHP devs
We know, security can suck. And it only gets harder as you grow. Increasing regulatory pressure, new compliance schemes, tedious security questionnaires from upmarket customers, … the list goes on.
Sooo we think this is a pretty big deal— if you’re building a new Laravel app today, you’ll have AppSec sorted asap. If you already have Laravel apps in production, your path to solving critical security vulnerabilities goes from hours or days to minutes.
In the long run, 600k+ devs using Forge will have continuous AppSec at their back. Starting with instant feedback on any new security issue introduced via pull request to malware scanning, and more. They can add additional cloud providers, containers, and domains to fully take advantage of our ‘all you can eat’ security.
Laravel developers can also leverage the new integration to breeze through the increasing regulations and compliance requirements coming their way; By making use of ready-to-go compliance reports and automating technical controls to achieve SOC2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and more.
How does the Aikido-Laravel integration work?
- When inside Forge, hop over to “Account Settings” or a Forge site. Here you can find the new Aikido integration in the sidebar;
- From there, click the Connect Aikido Workspace button;
- We'll ask you to create an Aikido account for free. Or log into your existing account through GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and other Git providers;
- Give Aikido authorization to the repositories relevant to this site and production environment. And we will get to work with our famously fast scanning;
- You’ll get your first results in less than 60 seconds. ⚡
You can then head back into Forge to see which issues Aikido has found — complete with prioritization based on the impact on your app and the severity of the vulnerability itself, and more.
From there, you can always click the Go to Aikido button from any site, or your account preferences, to access all your new Aikido workspaces.

What’s next?
We’re stoked to join forces with Laravel and the talented folks behind it. Together, developers can spend less time sweating security, and more time building exceptional applications. Definitely check out Forge, if you haven’t already.
You can connect your Laravel and Aikido accounts starting today. Once you’ve solved your first critical vulnerability, let us know on LinkedIn or X how we could make your AppSec experience even simpler and speedier.
