Proprietary engines, the full platform on-premise and malware detection that starts before a signature exists.
See how Xygeni compares to Aikido on your own repositories.
Five differences that matter
Full platform on-premise (single-tenant). DAST runs inside your infrastructure with no internet exposure.
Behavioral malware at registry publication, extending across pipelines, containers, source-code commits.
Ingest findings from Snyk, Veracode, Checkmarx. Apply AI Triage, Explanation, Fix to all of them.
Proprietary native scanning engines (not OSS orchestration). One SLA, one roadmap, plus SLSA + in-toto + CBOM.
A business-aware funnel that narrows thousands of findings to the few that are reachable and exploitable.
What changes your workflow most
Xygeni decides what to fix first and reduce the noise.
After the funnel Remediation Risk method-level is applied: Xygeni analyzes the call graph and tells you which fixes will break which callers — before you apply them.
Side by side
| Capability |  | Aikido |
|---|---|---|
| Scanning engines | Proprietary native engines | OSS-based (Opengrep, Trivy, ZAP) |
| Pre-signature malware detection in the free plan | MEW included in the free Developer plan | Free plan relies on known signatures |
| Developer endpoint protection | Packages, IDE extensions and plugins, plus network traffic, under one org policy. | Package installs only |
| Full platform on-premise / single-tenant | Full platform on-prem | Local Scanner + cloud dashboard |
| DAST execution model | On-prem capable, unlimited parallel | Cloud-only (IP whitelist + internet exposure) |
| Bring Your Own AI Model | Any LLM, including self-hosted | Aikido's own LLM only |
| Pre-signature malicious package detection (MEW) | Behavioral at registry publication | Aikido Intel (feed-style) |
| Malware detection across the SDLC | Pipelines + containers + commits | Packages-focused |
| CI/CD pipeline security (integrity + provenance) | Pipeline integrity, anomaly, SLSA + in-toto | Scans in the pipeline, doesn't secure it |
| AI Triage + risk prioritization | Triage on own + third-party findings + funnel + method-level | Own scanners only, no third-party findings |
| Secrets auto-revocation + merge block | Auto-revoke + merge block | Detect & validate only |
| CBOM — Cryptography Bill of Materials | Generated per release | Not available |

Differential
Two-layer AI analysis at package registry publication. Catches malicious behavior before a signature exists — typosquatting, obfuscation, exfiltration patterns, dependency confusion.
Detection extends to pipelines, container images, and source-code commits. Catches reverse shells in pipelines, malicious commands in build scripts, and tampered artifacts, not just bad packages.
Native SLSA and in-toto attestations for every build, plus a Cryptography Bill of Materials (CBOM) per release, so you know which cryptography you will need to migrate.
Packages, IDE extensions and plugins stay blocked until they reach the minimum age your policy sets.
Traffic to malicious IPs and domains is blocked at the endpoint, and a compromised machine is isolated.
The security team sets allowed and denied components and authorized registries.
Decisions use Xygeni’s pre-signature malware intelligence, not only known-bad feeds.
Yes, especially if you need the full platform on-premise, your own LLM or malware detection beyond packages. Xygeni uses proprietary scanning engines and runs the dashboard, findings, DAST and AI inference in your own environment.
Yes. On the Enterprise plan, the full platform runs on-premise, air-gapped or hybrid, including DAST and AI capabilities with a self-hosted model.
Any LLM: a commercial provider, a self-hosted model or Xygeni’s own. Data stays in your environment and usage stays on your contract.
MEW analyzes every new package behaviorally at registry publication, before a signature exists. Detection also covers pipelines, container images and source-code commits.
Yes. The free Developer plan includes MEW pre-signature malware detection.
