Belgium’S Aikido Lands $17M Series A For Its ‘No Bs’ Security Platform Aimed At Developers

That means developers across the board have to worry about how secure their platform is, and they often find themselves grappling with complicated tools to manage security.Now, Aikido, a small startup in Ghent, Belgium, thinks it has an answer to that dilemma: A no-nonsense, open source, developer-facing security platform. And the startup has just raised a $17 million Series A to further build out its product.“There have been security tools for three decades, but I think we’re the first where the buyer is the user.
