Overview

Product Information on Mend

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Mend?

The Mend AI Native AppSec Platform is designed to address risks in software created by both human developers and AI systems. The platform unifies static application security testing (SAST), software composition analysis (SCA), container scanning, AI component security and automated AI red teaming, giving teams visibility into risks across the application attack surface. The platform secures AI-generated code, embedded AI components (models, agents, MCPs, RAG pipelines), and conversational AI, while also covering traditional application risks. Mend.io integrates with development workflows to provide real-time alerts, policy enforcement, and ongoing monitoring across the software development lifecycle. Centralized dashboards and reporting deliver visibility into vulnerabilities, risk trends, and remediation progress. AI-assisted remediation and prioritization workflows enable teams to address issues efficiently and reduce overall risk.

Mend Pricing

Mend.io uses a subscription model priced by the number of contributing developers. Customers pay a single price that covers all product capabilities, including SCA, SAST, container security, and AI security, rather than licensing each product separately. Options for standalone purchase includes Mend Renovate Enterprise, which automates dependency updates.

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.

    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.
