Aikido Security acquires Trag

GHENT, Belgium — Aikido Security has announced its acquisition of Trag, an AI-native code quality platform adopted by Fortune 500 engineers, to address the unprecedented challenges of the AI development era.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently revealed that up to 30% of the company's code is now AI-written, while Google reports similar figures. This AI growth according to Aikido Security exposes an intrinsic weakness: AI's 10x speed multiplies both productivity and the injection of subtle, system-wide vulnerabilities into the codebase itself.

The acquisition comes as AI-generated code becomes the new standard across the industry.

Trag's LLM-native review engine was built specifically for this challenge, reasoning about code like an expert developer, at machine speed. Unlike deterministic approaches, it understands intent, adapts to AI-specific patterns, and catches the contextual vulnerabilities that traditional tools cannot spot.

"LLMs have created a level playing field in code security – even major players have to rethink their approach. The market is full of half-measures: AI reviewers that only check quality, security tools that miss code context, and nobody connecting how bad code becomes breached systems," says Willem Delbare, Founder and CTO of Aikido Security. "Developers are drowning in disconnected dashboards while vendors just add basic security scans to old tools. Real security spans from code commit to production runtime, and no company provides this end-to-end. That's why we acquired Trag: to build the first platform that sees the full picture at AI speed."

Aikido's platform combines AI code review, application security, cloud security, and runtime protection, adapting to the speed of AI development, the ingenuity of attackers, and the inevitability of human mistakes. 

Available now, the solution delivers a unified defense for code, apps, and cloud, using AI to catch vulnerabilities at the speed they're generated.

"Most teams have major gaps in visibility – their quality tools can't see security implications, and their security scanners miss code context," said Khachatur Virabyan, Founder and CEO of Trag. "Aikido changes that equation. Now we can track how every AI-generated change impacts both code health and security posture throughout its entire lifecycle. When you're shipping at AI speed, you need that complete view of risk, or you're just hoping nothing breaks in production."
