What it does
Mend.io presents a single platform for application security and AI security. It is aimed at risk from open source dependencies, AI models, agents and system prompts, which the site says traditional developer security tools were not built to find, test or govern. For AI, the listed capabilities are model discovery, system prompt hardening, AI risk ranking, AI security testing, red teaming and runtime guardrails. For application security, it lists software composition analysis, static and dynamic testing, secrets detection, reachability analysis, auto-remediation and policy and build gates. Renovate Enterprise is named for automated dependency updates at scale. The site says it keeps an up-to-date SBOM and AI-BOM and gathers inventory, findings, test results and remediation status in one workflow for compliance work, mentioning the EU AI Act, Executive Order 14028 and the Cyber Resilience Act, plus CRA and NIST attestation. It also claims automated attack simulations run against every build. The page carries customer quotes but states no pricing.
Capabilities
- Inventory of packages, AI models, agents and system prompts as SBOM and AI-BOM
- AI security testing and red teaming before release
- Runtime guardrails that monitor and block unsafe behavior in production
- Software composition analysis, static and dynamic testing and secrets detection
- Reachability analysis to prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities
- Automated dependency updates with Renovate Enterprise
When to use it
- Your applications include AI models or agents that need security testing
- You need an inventory of open source and AI components for compliance evidence
- You want vulnerabilities ranked by whether they can actually be reached
- You want dependency updates handled automatically across many repositories
