Aikido Security vs Hyrax

Aikido scans the stack.
Hyrax fixes the code.

Aikido is an all-in-one security platform — SAST, SCA, secrets, containers, IaC, and DAST in one dashboard with noise reduction. It surfaces and triages risk; code remediation is largely manual. Hyrax finds code issues and ships fixes verified against the test suite.

Hyrax runs on roughly 400 of our own repositories.

Free plan: a monthly mini audit, 5 findings, and up to 5 fixes at no cost.

The difference

Same surface area. Hyrax does the work.

Aikido Security
  • All-in-one scanning: SAST, SCA, secrets, containers, IaC, DAST
  • Noise reduction and risk triage across the stack
  • Surfaces and prioritizes — code fixes are largely manual
  • Flat-rate tiers above the free plan (~$300–$600/mo)
Hyrax
  • Audits application code across six categories, then fixes it
  • 13-step verification with baseline tests before every fix
  • Native dependency, license, and supply-chain auditing included
  • Opens a [Hyrax] PR and closes the ticket — you approve the merge

The edge Aikido Security misses

A fix isn't done until it's verified.

Aikido Security stops at a suggestion or a scoped patch. Every Hyrax fix runs a 13-step verification before it can merge. Baseline tests are established first, the fix is applied, and the full pipeline confirms nothing else broke. Nothing ships on trust.

FAQ

Questions about switching from Aikido Security.

They overlap on code scanning but differ in scope. Aikido covers the full stack including containers, IaC, and DAST. Hyrax focuses on application code and fixes it with verification. Many teams use both.

No. Hyrax does not scan container images, Terraform/IaC, or run DAST. It audits application code — SAST plus native dependency and supply-chain checks — and fixes what it finds.

Yes. That's the core difference. Aikido surfaces and triages risk; Hyrax makes the change in an isolated worktree, runs the test suite and build, and opens a [Hyrax] PR you approve.
