VS Code Plugin
Aikido integrates with VS Code and scans your codebases for secrets, API keys and SAST code issues. It runs scans whenever you open or save a file.
Every time you make and save changes in a file, a scan runs. If any issues are detected, they are highlighted in the editor and also displayed in the Problems panel. When you hover over a detected SAST issue, additional context about the problem is provided.
