The Challenges of Application Security Today

For many organizations, balancing security and speed is a significant challenge. Some of the most common pain points include:

• Proliferation of Open-Source Software: Open-source components are integral to modern applications but come with vulnerabilities and license risks.
• Vulnerable Transitive Dependencies: Developers knows the list of libraries they are using as part of their development activity, but they may not know the information about Transitive Dependencies.
• Security bugs in the custom code: Manual code walkthrough may not help if the code has deep dependencies and complex structure.
• Container Vulnerabilities: Container vulnerabilities can originate from various layers within the containerized ecosystem like Base Image Vulnerabilities, Application-Level Vulnerabilities, Configuration Issues, Dependency Vulnerabilities, Orchestration Vulnerabilities and Host System Vulnerabilities, etc..,
• Vulnerabilities from AI :  Evaluation of Vulnerabilities brought through AI models used in the applications.
• Security Bottlenecks: Traditional security tools slow down development cycles and introduce friction between teams.
• Evolving Threat Landscape: Security teams struggle to keep up with rapidly emerging threats while ensuring compliance with industry standards.

These challenges call for a solution that is fast, accurate, and developer-friendly—this is where Mend excels.

What Makes Mend the Ultimate Application Security Solution?

Mend combines cutting-edge technology with a developer-first approach, empowering organizations to secure their applications without compromising speed. Here’s what sets Mend apart:

Mend Includes Container Security and AI Security modules to provide end to end Security confidence.
2. Real-Time Vulnerability Detection: Integrated deeply into your CI/CD pipelines, Mend identifies security issues in real time, allowing your team to address them early in the development cycle.
3. Automation at Scale: Mend automates routine security tasks, from identifying vulnerabilities to suggesting or implementing fixes. This allows developers to focus on building innovative features rather than manual patching.
4. Seamless Integration: With compatibility across popular tools like GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, and more, Mend fits into your existing workflows with minimal disruption.
5. Developer-Friendly Tools: Mend provides actionable insights directly to developers through various IDE Plugins and Workflows, empowering them to write secure code without relying heavily on security teams.

How Mend Simplifies Open-Source Security

Open-source software is the backbone of modern development, but it comes with unique risks. Mend’s solution for open-source security helps organizations:

• Identify Vulnerabilities: Get instant alerts about potential security and license risks in your open-source components. Inventory report, Due Diligence report, Risk report, SBOM reports can be exported through Mend.
• Automate Fixes: Mend offers automated remediation to resolve vulnerabilities quickly and efficiently. Mend Renovate automates the process of updating dependencies for open-source components, ensuring that your software remains both secure and up-to-date. The platform identifies outdated dependencies, provides real-time alerts, and generates pull requests with suggested updates. By minimizing manual effort, Mend Renovate enhances project reliability and streamlines maintenance workflows.
• Monitor Continuously: Stay protected with constant monitoring to ensure the safety of your dependencies over time. Real time automated monitoring can keep you updated about the new vulnerabilities reported in the detected open source component.

Custom Code Security Made Easy

For proprietary code, Mend offers advanced static application security testing (SAST) that identifies and addresses security flaws during development. Features include:

• Early Detection: Catch vulnerabilities during the coding phase to minimize downstream risks.
• Integration-First Approach: Mend integrates with your CI/CD tools to provide instant feedback on code security.
• Actionable Guidance: Mend helps developers understand and resolve issues effectively, improving overall code quality.

Built for Teams of All Sizes

Whether you’re a startup scaling rapidly or an established enterprise, Mend’s flexible platform adapts to your needs. Its scalable architecture ensures that you can secure your applications without compromising agility, even as your team or project portfolio grows.

Why You Should Choose Mend

Choosing Mend means choosing a partner that prioritizes your success. Here are some reasons why Mend is the preferred choice for leading organizations:

• Proven Results: Mend helps teams reduce vulnerabilities, speed up development cycles, and simplify compliance processes.
• Innovative Approach: By focusing on automation and developer enablement, Mend turns security into a catalyst for innovation.
• Trusted by Leaders: Mend powers secure development for some of the world’s most innovative companies.
• SBOM Report: A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is a critical component in modern software development and security practices, providing a detailed inventory of the components within a software application. Mend offers a comprehensive and efficient solution for exporting SBOM reports, ensuring that organizations can manage their software supply chain securely and effectively.
• Easy Licensing: Affordable easy licensing based on number of contributing developers.
