SpartanX vs Aikido.dev
Agentic automation and offense + defense vs scanner consolidation.
| Category / Feature | SpartanX | Aikido.dev |
|---|---|---|
| Core Vision | Agentic AI Security Workforce — autonomous agents that Defend (fix) and Attack (red-team) to secure code, infra, and cloud continuously. | "All-in-one AppSec platform" — consolidates scanning tools (SAST, SCA, IaC, CSPM) for unified vulnerability visibility. |
| Mission Focus | Full-spectrum security automation: discover → validate → prioritize → fix → simulate attacks. | Simplified AppSec consolidation: unify multiple scanners into one platform. |
| Scope of Coverage | End-to-end: Code → Infra → APIs → Cloud → LLMs → Continuous AI Red-Team. | Focused on code and cloud configuration scanning. |
| Automation Level | Autonomous AI agents handle triage, validation, remediation, and reporting. | Automated scanning; remediation guidance is manual. |
| Remediation Capability | Auto-generates secure code fixes + PRs with contextual explanations. | Provides remediation recommendations; developers must fix manually. |
| Offensive Security | Built-in AI Red-Teaming module (continuous autonomous pentesting). | None — strictly defensive (no adversarial testing). |
| Intelligence Layer | Ontology-driven Knowledge Graph connecting vulns ⇔ threats ⇔ assets ⇔ compliance controls. | Scanner aggregation and correlation; no semantic or knowledge graph layer. |
| False-Positive Handling | AI Validation Agents auto-test and remove false positives before alerting. | Aggregated findings; relies on manual triage or filters. |
| Risk Prioritization | AI-driven exploitability + business impact + MITRE ATT&CK mapping. | Severity-based prioritization (CVSS + exposure context). |
| DevSecOps Integration | Deep integration with GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, Jira, Linear, Slack, Teams, CI/CD pipelines. | Good integration with repos and CI/CD, focused on developers. |
| AI Architecture | Multi-agent system (Discovery, Enrichment, Prioritization, Fix-Gen, Red-Team, Reporting). | Basic AI for vulnerability aggregation and prioritization. |
| Compliance & Reporting | Auto-generates ISO, PCI-DSS, NIST, HIPAA, DORA, GDPR, SOX reports with mapped controls. | Limited compliance dashboards (CIS, SOC 2, ISO 27001). |
| MSSP / Multi-Tenant Ready | Native multi-tenant architecture for MSSPs and service providers. | Single-tenant SaaS, SMB and startup-focused. |
| Natural-Language Automation | "Find and fix all critical vulns in staging" — natural-language orchestration. | No NL automation; dashboard-driven workflows. |
| Offense + Defense Integration | Unified: Defend (DevSecOps) + Offense (Red-Team) in one platform. | Defense-only platform. |
| Data Enrichment & Context | Aggregates from Snyk, Semgrep, Wiz, CrowdStrike, Tenable, etc. | Relies primarily on customer scanner inputs (Qualys, Tenable, etc.). |
| Outcome Speed | Detection → Validation → Auto Fix → Report in minutes. | Detection → Prioritization → Manual Fix → Report in days/weeks. |
| Target Personas | CISOs, AppSec Leaders, DevSecOps Teams, MSSPs. | AppSec Engineers, Remediation Teams. |
| Market Positioning | AI Security Workforce — proactive, autonomous, offense + defense. | AI Remediation Assistant — reactive, fix-oriented. |
