Visual Studio Plugin
Aikido automatically scans your Visual Studio projects for secrets, API keys, and security vulnerabilities (SAST).
Scans run automatically whenever you open a file or save changes, making it easy to catch issues early in development.
When security issues are found, they're highlighted directly in your code and listed in the Problems panel. Hover over any highlight to see detailed security context about the issue.
