Aikido Security, a Belgium-based startup that helps developers create secure applications, on Wednesday announced raising $60 million at unicorn valuation.
This Series B funding round brings the total raised by the company to more than $84 million and boosts its valuation to $1 billion.
The investment was led by DST Global, with participation from PSG Equity, Notion Capital, and Singular. The money will be used to enhance and expand Aikido’s offering.
Aikido has created a platform that allows companies to add security to their entire software development lifecycle.
The platform provides scanning, code-to-cloud visibility, offensive security testing, and in-app runtime defense and detection capabilities. The company claims its platform is used by more than 100,000 teams.
“How software is built today looks nothing like it did even a few years ago, but most security tooling is still anchored to the past,” said Willem Delbare, co-founder and CEO of Aikido. “As build cycles collapse from months to minutes, security needs to evolve. It must be continuous, adaptive, and autonomous, securing software as a dynamic system.”
A recent analysis by Pinpoint Search Group showed that cybersecurity companies raised a total of nearly $14 billion in 2025.
