Case Study: Smartendr achieves clearer, prioritized payment risk visibility with Aikido AI pentesting

How Smartendr gained a clear, prioritized view of real payment risk with AI pentesting

Smartendr, a hospitality tech company and ordering platform for bars and restaurants, faced the challenge of scaling securely while maintaining a clear view of its real-world attack surface. With a high volume of sensitive payment transactions and complex integrations, their fragmented, periodic security checks could not provide a complete or current picture of their risk. To address this, they turned to vendor Aikido for its AI pentesting service.

Aikido's AI pentesting solution ran automated, realistic attack simulations that identified 54 validated security findings with clear, actionable remediation guidance. This gave Smartendr's engineers a prioritized view of actual risk, which they efficiently fixed with the help of automatic retesting that verified the vulnerabilities were removed. The solution provided the clarity needed to strengthen security conversations with partners and auditors without slowing down their development process.
