Overview

Product Information on Mend

Updated 20th May 2026

What is Mend?

Modern risk doesn't live in one layer, it lives between them. Mend.io is built for every risk, across AI and AppSec, securing the code layer, the AI layer, and the interactions between them. From discovery and red teaming to guardrails and runtime protection, Mend.io delivers continuous protection across the AI application lifecycle. Mend AI secures the layer where modern risk actually lives, the interaction between code and AI. It continuously discovers AI components, tests real behavioral risk through automated red teaming, and enforces runtime guardrails for a continuous control system across the AI lifecycle. Mend AppSec secures the code layer by continuously discovering and prioritizing risk across code, libraries, containers, and dependencies, giving teams clarity to reduce exposure and ship secure software faster. Mend Renovate automatically updates dependencies, rating the likelihood each update will succeed and grouping by confidence level so teams can resolve them faster.

Mend Pricing

Mend.io enables developers and security professionals to write secure code and utilize secure components across every area of the SDLC. Pricing is based on the number of contributing developers and doesn't place limits on factors such as size of code or number of scans. A contributing developer is any employee or contractor who accesses Mend.io's web UI, or any engineer, developer, or other person who writes, develops, or modifies code being scanned or monitored by Mend.io.

    AI Detection Enhances Security and Automation but Slows Large Project Scans

    5.0
    Mar 31, 2026
    It is one of the easiest and best ways to analyze coding. With AI, it is able to detect security flaws and compliance issues quickly and accurately. It really helps to save me a lot of time.

Mend Likes & Dislikes

Like

I like the most: -very good support -Mend always taking in consideration to improve the product -dedicated person responsible for our company. Toni is always helping us

Like

Having to have AI for detection is really the best feature for security detection. It provides great automation as well. The Mend Renovate has a great feature that scans libraries and updates them automatically. This helps save a lot of manual process.

Dislike

-Feature implementation taking sometimes too long -Technical trainings regarding AI side- we need more -The fact that each time we create a new scan will create a new project. The default behavior should be to be able to create multiple scans in the same project

Dislike

It does take longer to complete when scanning larger projects. The UI could be improved further so that it is easier and faster to locate menus. Some options are buried deep within a menu and quite difficult to find, especially for new users.
