Aikido Security's Emergence in Japan
Aikido Security, offered by AndGo, officially establishes itself in the Japanese market as a leading provider of threat intelligence and security solutions. The service, a robust Security as a Service (SaaS) solution, has demonstrated significant efficacy by being the first to detect and report multiple software supply chain attacks that occurred globally in 2025. These early detections underscore the platform’s advanced threat intelligence capabilities, as it successfully identified vulnerabilities that other monitoring tools failed to recognize.
Context of the Attacks
In 2025, a series of supply chain attacks targeted critical technologies within the software ecosystem, including the npm packages, React Native packages, and various Web3 related libraries, such as the ethers.js framework and wallet-sdk systems. Notably, Aikido Security was pivotal in identifying:
- - Malicious hijacking of npm packages
- - Infiltration of malware into React Native packages
- - Tampering cases in Web3-related packages
These incidents highlight a growing trend where software supply chains, once considered secure, are increasingly susceptible to comprehensive attacks. As software becomes integral to various sectors, the impacts of such vulnerabilities extend beyond individual businesses, posing significant risks at a national level.
The Rise of Software attacks
Starting in 2024, the frequency of targeted attacks on npm and Web3 libraries surged globally. Extending beyond developers, the implications of these attacks affected service providers and end users alike. As these threats often hide within complex dependency layers or CI/CD pipelines, conventional security tools struggle to identify them, necessitating advanced solutions like Aikido Security.
Unique Features of Aikido Security
Aikido Security’s strength lies in its dedicated threat intelligence team that tracks and analyzes global supply chain attacks and zero-day vulnerabilities. In 2025 alone, the team provided early warning reports regarding potential abuses, earning high trust within the global security community. Key features of the platform include:
- - AI-Powered Alert Triage: Reduces actionable alerts by 80%
- - Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Monitors cloud platform configuration mistakes
- - Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Software Composition Analysis (SCA): Maintains awareness of vulnerabilities, EOL products, and license management
- - Attack Surface Monitoring: Keeps watch on internet exposure
- - IDE Integration: Enables real-time source code diagnostics within developers’ editors
- - Affordable Pricing: Starting at under 50,000 yen monthly, making it accessible for companies of all sizes.
These functionalities empower not just engineering departments, but also security, information systems, and executive teams to develop an integrated security framework, enhancing their overall security posture.
Impact on Japanese Companies and AndGo's Support System
One of the hallmarks of Aikido Security is its cost-effectiveness, allowing businesses to establish a practical security layer without the need for hiring additional security engineers. This is especially beneficial in a landscape where security talent is scarce. Aikido Security's deployment begins yielding tangible security benefits immediately, thus making it appealing for domestic enterprises.
In its capacity as the authorized distributor, AndGo has strengthened its support mechanisms for Japanese businesses through:
- - Japanese Language Support: Facilitation of implementation and operational assistance in Japanese
- - Implementation Workshops: Educational sessions tailored for effective use
- - Flexible Contract Options: Including invoice payment capabilities
AndGo remains committed to enhancing its support system, ensuring that more Japanese organizations can leverage Aikido Security’s comprehensive security platform.
