Mend AppSec
The code layer is evolving. Your security should too.
High-accuracy detection, reachability-based prioritization, and AI-powered fixes work together to reduce real risk.
Built for the speed of modern development
Cut remediation work by 75% with AI fixes and context
Prioritize real risk, not just severity scores
Stop chasing endless alerts and start mitigating actual business impact.
Mend AppSec combines high-precision differential SAST (+38% precision, +48% recall vs. benchmark competitors) with reachability-driven SCA, prioritized by EPSS and CVSS 4.0, to surface exploitable open source and container risk first. Contextual project classification flags apps handling payments, healthcare data, and PII so teams reduce exposure where it counts.
Remediate faster with AI & automation
Accelerate the path from detection to fix.
Mend SAST delivers AI-powered code fixes +46% more accurate than benchmark competitors. Mend SCA’s automated dependency management keeps open-source secure — speeding up resolution without disrupting development velocity.
Secure risks before they are committed to your codebase
Catch vulnerabilities as code is written, not after it’s merged.
Mend AppSec integrates directly with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot to scan code as it’s generated. Mend SAST and Mend SCA feed reachability-aware intelligence into agentic development tools, stopping risk before it enters the codebase.
Connect security to developer workflows
Secure your applications without changing how developers build.
Mend AppSec delivers AI-assisted fixes inside IDEs and pull requests. Automated dependency updates and CI/CD feedback across SAST and SCA keep pipelines moving — ensuring security is a continuous process rather than a bottleneck.
Build governance into every release
Align security and legal without manual workflows.
Mend AppSec enforces governance before compliance violations reach your team. Apply open source license policy enforcement in real time, track remediation SLAs automatically, block non-compliant components before merge, and stay audit-ready across every repository.
Extend your AppSec coverage
Find and fix exploitable runtime vulnerabilities
Protect APIs from exploitation
Drop-in support for deprecated open source
Across your stack. Inside every workflow.
Mend AppSec lives where your developers work. Deep integrations across IDEs, repositories, CI/CD, and package managers deliver automated risk remediation and policy enforcement from first keystroke to production.

“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”
“Overall, the product is great. It solves the OSS vulnerabilities, OSS commercial product license restrictions, and is diving deep into AI license and usage vulnerabilities.”
“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”
“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.”
“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
Mend AppSec FAQs
What is Mend AppSec?
Mend AppSec is an application security platform that unifies SAST, SCA, and container scanning in a single product. It’s built to secure both AI-generated and user-generated code inside modern applications, with shared policy, prioritization, and remediation workflows.
How is Mend AppSec different from an ASPM (Application Security Posture Management) tool?
ASPM tools aggregate findings from third-party scanners but rarely replace them, leaving coverage gaps and duplicate noise. Mend AppSec is both the scanner and the management layer — natively owning SAST, SCA, and container image scans — so prioritization and remediation work end to end without relying on external tools.
How does Mend AppSec secure AI-generated code from Copilot, Cursor, and similar tools?
Mend AppSec uses a dual-scan flow: a fast, AI-tuned scan at the moment of code generation in the IDE provides real-time feedback in the IDE, followed by deep SAST and SCA analysis at commit. This catches flaws in both AI-generated and human-written code without slowing developers down.
How does Mend AppSec enforce policies across SAST, SCA, and dependencies?
Mend AppSec uses a unified policy engine that lets security teams define one set of rules — severity thresholds, SLAs, license types— and apply them across every product in the platform. Violations trigger consistent alerts, build failures, or PR blocks.
What deployment options does Mend AppSec support?
Mend AppSec supports SaaS, hybrid, and on-premises deployments. Sensitive source code can be scanned locally with Mend SAST without leaving your environment, while management, reporting, and policy controls run in the cloud — suitable for regulated industries and air-gapped environments.
How does Mend AppSec reduce vulnerability remediation time?
Mend AppSec combines reachability-driven prioritization, AI-powered fixes, and automated dependency updates to cut remediation work by up to 75%. Findings are grouped, deduplicated, and delivered directly into IDEs, repos, and tickets, so developers spend time fixing what truly matters.
Which compliance and security certifications does Mend AppSec hold?
Mend AppSec is built and operated to meet enterprise compliance requirements, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR;the platform’s audit log and SBOM/AI-BOM output also support customer security reviews and regulator requests.
