Features

Everything You Wish Security Tools Actually Did

Infrastructure as code (IaC)

Scans Terraform, CloudFormation & Kubernetes Helm charts for misconfigurations.

  • Detect issues that leave your infrastructure open to attack
  • Identify vulnerabilities before they're committed to the default branch
  • Integrated in CI/CD Pipeline
CI CD Integration

Container Security

Scan your container operating system for packages with security issues.

  • Checks if your containers have any vulnerabilities (Like CVEs)
  • Highlights vulnerabilities based on container data sensitivity.
  • Auto-triaging to filter out false positives
Virtual Machine Scanning

Cloud posture management

Detect cloud infrastructure risks across major cloud providers.

  • Scans Virtual Machines (AWS EC2 instances) for vulnerabilities.
  • Scan your cloud for misconfigurations and overly permissive user roles/access
  • Automate security policies & compliance checks for SOC2, ISO27001, CIS & NIS2

Static Code Analysis

Scans your source code for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, XSS, buffer overflows and other security risks. Checks against popular CVE databases. It works out-of-the-box and supports all major languages.

Zero-in on real threats with Aikido

DAST & API Security

Monitor your App and APIs to find vulnerabilities like SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF—both on the surface and via authenticated DAST. Simulate real-world attacks and scan every API endpoint for common security threats. Our Nuclei-based scanner checks your self-hosted apps for common vulnerabilities.

Malware detection

The npm ecosystem is susceptible to malicious packages being published because of its open nature.Aikido identifies malicious code that may be embedded within JavaScript files or npm packages. Powered by Phylum. (Scans for backdoors, trojans, keyloggers, XSS, cryptojacking scripts and more.)

Why Look for Orca Security Alternatives

down arrow

Orca Security on G2 takes an agentless approach to cloud security, but users say the UI is unintuitive and makes it hard to trace vulnerabilities to specific packages. Others note that Orca only identifies issues — it doesn’t help you fix them, which can slow teams down. For devs who want fewer clicks and faster remediation, that’s a dealbreaker.

Why Devs Pick Aikido Over Orca Security

Unified app and cloud view:

Orca scans cloud only. Aikido scans code and cloud in one place.

Workflow integration:

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.
