Aikido Security Introduces Aikido Infinite

Aikido Security has introduced Aikido Infinite, a cutting-edge AI-powered penetration testing solution designed to continuously validate and remediate vulnerabilities in software applications. This innovative tool reduces risk with each new release by testing software changes in real-time, confirming exploitability, and automatically fixing vulnerabilities within the same workflow.

Limitations of Traditional Penetration Testing

Traditional penetration testing methods often rely on manual or point-in-time assessments, which can be delivered weeks after software has already shipped. However, a recent survey of 500 security and engineering leaders revealed that 76% of respondents deploy significant production changes on a weekly or faster basis, yet only 21% validate security on every release. Furthermore, 85% reported that security findings are outdated by the time final reports are delivered.

Aikido Infinite: A Continuous Feedback Loop

Aikido Infinite addresses these limitations by providing a continuous feedback loop that operates alongside deployment, rather than after it. Each software change triggers autonomous pentesting agents that discover risk, validate exploitability, apply remediation where safe, and retest to confirm risk reduction. This level of exhaustiveness would be challenging to replicate even with the largest in-house security teams, whose resources do not scale in proportion to the expanding attack surface and pace of change.

According to Willem Delbare, CEO of Aikido, “For years, organizations have been working around the limitations of traditional testing and DAST because there was nothing better available. Software delivery is now continuous, but security testing isn’t. Infinite completely changes that. This is the beginning of self-securing software.”

Key Features of Aikido Infinite

Aikido Infinite utilizes a code-to-runtime platform that provides deep context from the organization’s source code, application architecture, and internal logic flows. Autonomous agents then pursue every possible route of attack across the application’s total surface area, identifying undocumented endpoints, hidden logic paths, complex multi-step edge cases, and architectural anomalies that are often unknown by testers or too time-consuming for manual testers to address.

Katie Norton, Research Manager, DevSecOps and Software Supply Chain Security at IDC, noted, “As software delivery cycles shorten and change becomes constant, point-in-time security models no longer reflect how modern systems operate. We are beginning to see early signs of a more autonomous security approach, where exploitability validation and remediation are embedded directly into the software lifecycle. Aikido Infinite reflects this shift by combining continuous testing with remediation capabilities inside a unified platform.”

Aikido Infinite: A Flagship Product

Aikido Infinite learns from every finding on each deployment, providing a continuous feedback loop that developers can use to improve code security even before commit. Built on Aikido’s model-agnostic architecture, Infinite combines advanced AI with proprietary exploit validation and controlled runtime execution. This solution is the company’s flagship product and the realization of its vision for building self-securing software, shifting security from a reactive process to an embedded, continuous loop.
