Phoenix + Aikido IAS: Identity Context Meets Application Security Precision

Permissions drift. Dormant access. Code written by inactive identities with production reach. Aikido IAS detects the who and how behind risky access behaviors across source control, CI pipelines, and cloud deployments. Phoenix synchronizes that data with runtime, code-level, and asset intelligence to prioritize real exposure—not theoretical risk.

This integration turns access anomalies into actionable vulnerability posture—mapped, scored, assigned, and enforced in real time.


Behavioral Access Insight That Doesn’t Just Alert—It Acts

Aikido continuously evaluates identity access patterns:

Phoenix overlays these signals with:

What begins as access insight becomes tracked remediation inside workflows teams already use.


From Git Permissions to App-Level Risk Visibility

Every access path can lead to a vulnerable function, sensitive API, or customer-facing service. Aikido reveals those paths. Phoenix translates them into application-aware security posture decisions.

Workflow flow:

Security teams gain clarity. Developers get precision. Nothing slows down.


ASPM That Understands Who Has Access and Why It Matters

Vulnerabilities can’t be ranked in a vacuum. Identity context unlocks real prioritization. This integration builds that model from the ground up.

Phoenix ingests and operationalizes Aikido’s identity signals:

The result is a real-time, identity-aware ASPM platform that enforces least privilege without relying on manual reviews or stale audit logs.


One Stack. Unified Visibility. Actionable Risk.

Security posture management gains depth when identity risk is part of the equation. This integration:

Aikido and Phoenix eliminate the blind spot between code authorship, access control, and exploitability.
