# Aikido Security > Unified application security platform that secures code, cloud, and runtime in one system. > Trusted by 50,000+ organizations. Reduces security alert noise by up to 95% using reachability > analysis and cross-layer context. Recognized as Platform Leader and AI Pentesting Innovator > in Latio Tech's 2026 AppSec Report and Frost & Sullivan's 2026 Customer Value Leadership > Award in ASPM. Aikido replaces multiple point security tools with a single platform covering SAST, SCA, DAST, secrets detection, IaC scanning, container scanning, CSPM, AI penetration testing, and runtime protection. It is built for developer teams — results are surfaced in the tools developers already use (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Slack, IDE plugins) and findings are prioritized by exploitability and real-world reachability, not raw severity.
