Software supply chain security

Keep your applications clear from malicious software packages throughout the full software development lifecycle.

Challenges

Active threats lurk in libraries

The open source packages developers rely on to get their work done also make great hiding places for bad actors seeking to cause damage to enterprise organizations.

Supply chain malware

Hackers inject malicious code into open source packages to quickly introduce vulnerabilities into tens of thousands of open source dependencies.

No time to scan

Regular code scans take time that developers often don’t have, meaning many weaknesses are accidentally missed.

The race to keep up

Open source packages are frequently updated, making it incredibly difficult for companies to stay on top of all vulnerabilities across different versions.

Opportunities

Stop supply chain threats

Prioritize and automate to secure code, protect users, and stop malicious actors in their tracks.

Integrate. Automate.

Built-in tools that find and block malicious packages like protestware, data stealers, and crypto miners reduce enterprise risk.

Centralize visibility and control

Broad coverage of repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and beyond stops malicious packages and vulnerabilities from slipping in.

Keep up with dependency updates

The key to staying a step ahead of malicious packages or exploitable vulnerabilities is automatically ensure all dependencies are kept up to date.

The solution

Find and block threats across the SDLC

Mend SCA protects repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and beyond from malicious code packages and exploitable vulnerabilities.

Scan and block malicious packages

Map all open source dependencies

Supported with rich context

Risk-based prioritization

MTTR

“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.”

Fast, secure, compliant

“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.”

Rapid results

“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.”
