Aikido Security ranking highlights Europe’s developer-first cyber momentum
Aikido Security topping Sifted’s France and Benelux ranking points to growing European momentum around developer-first cybersecurity tools.
European cybersecurity has a few clear bright spots, and developer-first tools are one of them. Aikido Security’s ranking signal shows how quickly this category is gaining attention.
What happened
Aikido Security topped Sifted’s latest France and Benelux startup ranking. The Belgian cybersecurity company has become a notable name in developer-focused security, a category built around helping teams find and fix risks earlier in the software workflow.
Why it matters
Security tools are more useful when they fit naturally into how developers already work. Developer-first cybersecurity can help teams reduce risk without slowing down product shipping too much.
The bigger picture
Cybersecurity is shifting left into software development. Startups that make security easier for engineering teams may become important as companies build faster, rely on more open-source code and face more complex attack surfaces.
