What happened
OWASP and Aikido Security announced on 18 June 2026 a new individual member benefit: 200 free Aikido credits for 'Code Audit', a reasoning-model-powered static analysis capability described as providing pentester-grade vulnerability discovery. The partnership delivers AI-assisted AppSec tooling directly to the OWASP community.
Why it matters
This is a concrete OWASP-endorsed deployment of agentic AI for security testing, making pentester-grade AI code audit accessible to the broader AppSec community. It signals OWASP's active role in normalising AI-assisted security tooling and validates the class of agentic static analysis as a recognised defensive practice — relevant context for organisations evaluating AI-assisted code review as a control against the AI-generated code security gap.
Action needed
OWASP individual members: redeem credits and pilot Aikido Code Audit against security-critical codebases. Security teams: treat this as a reference deployment of agentic SAST and assess fit for internal CI/CD pipelines.
