Does Aikido require agents?

No! Unlike others, we're fully API based, no agents are needed to deploy Aikido! This way you're up & running in mere minutes & we're way less intrusive!

I don’t want to connect my repository. Can I try it with a test account?

Of course! When you sign up with your git, don’t give access to any repo & select the demo repo instead!

What happens to my data?

We clone the repositories inside of temporary environments (such as docker containers unique to you). Those containers are disposed of, after analysis. The duration of the test and scans themselves take about 1-5 mins. All the clones and containers are then auto-removed after that, always, every time, for every customer.
