Aikido Machine: On-Prem AI Pentesting for Secure Orgs

Aikido Security has launched the Aikido Machine, an on-premise server for AI pentesting and AI Code Analysis. This new system runs entirely within a user's network, utilizing local GPUs and models. Here's the thing: no source code, repositories, or prompts ever leave the user's infrastructure. This is crucial for organizations like banks, government agencies, and hospitals, which often have strict policies against sending sensitive data to external clouds. What's interesting is that while continuous, AI-driven pentesting exists, it has previously only been available in the cloud. This left many teams with a choice between infrequent manual pentests or no AI-driven security at all. The Aikido Machine solves this by placing the entire server, including models, physically inside the network. To enhance this offering, Aikido has acquired Milou, a company known for its hardware device combining AI and security. Milou's founders, experienced pentesters Tiburce Gridello and Selim Decamps, have joined Aikido to further develop on-premise AI pentesting solutions. The bottom line is this aims to provide advanced, secure AI-driven cybersecurity capabilities to organizations with strict data handling requirements.
