Introduction
Mend.io (formerly WhiteSource) argues that traditional application security misses AI risk and standalone AI security tools miss your code, and positions itself as unified security for AppSec and AI. It is well known for software composition analysis and licence compliance, with SAST, container scanning and the Renovate dependency-update project in its portfolio.
Features
- SCA: Open-source vulnerabilities and licences.
- SAST: Static analysis of first-party code.
- Container scanning: Image and registry scanning.
- AI security: Security for AI components and models, per the vendor.
- Prioritisation: Reachability and risk-based prioritisation.
