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.

    Mend provides a mature platform with extensive coverage across SCA, SAST and container security which has helped improve visibility across our software supply chain. However, customer communication and out-of-date documentation has been a challenge.

Performance of Mend Across Market Features

Mend Likes & Dislikes

Like

The platform integrates into existing workflows, allowing developers to identify and remediate supply chain vulnerabilities without leaving their environment. The Mend team has been incredibly responsive and quick to remediate any issues we encountered. Automated tools for dependency updates significantly reduce the manual effort required to maintain a secure and up-to-date software supply chain. We also found that they beat other vendors to include new critical zero-day vulnerabilities in their database.

Dislike

Response times and required follow-ups from the Vendor are sometimes slow for priority ticket requests. Documentation can be hard to follow or out-of-date. Transitive dependency scanning requires a lot of manual effort. Some functionality requires deeper validation than the initial Vendor claims. Knowledge, pro-activeness and awareness of deprecated features of third party integrations with Mend is not up-to-date e.g Deprecation of PAT tokens in Azure DevOps
