EOL Support: Maintain support for critical end-of-life software
EOL Support
Secure, compliant, drop-in support for deprecated open source software
If it’s not supported, it’s not secure. Legacy frameworks silently fail audits, accrue vulnerabilities, and stall roadmaps. HeroDevs’ Never-Ending Support replaces your deprecated packages, without rewrites, without risks.
Maintain support for critical end-of-life software
Reduce risks caused by end-of-life packages
When open source packages reach end-of-life, no new security patches are issued which can put applications at risk. HeroDevs gives you drop-in replacements for outdated packages, backed by SLAs and ongoing CVE remediation.
Ensure compliance after package deprecation
PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, and GDPR all require proactive security.
HeroDevs keeps you compliant with ongoing patching and audit-ready documentation, even for frameworks maintainers no longer support.
Streamline productivity and reduce costs
Manually patching deprecated packages can be risky, time-consuming, and increase engineering overhead. HeroDevs provides patched versions for these packages, accelerating remediation, saving costs, and freeing developers to ship new features and deliver value faster.

If we look at the number of PRs created by Mend SCA that were merged and compare that to the cost of developers doing that manually, then we have saved considerable developer time.
Chris Madden
Distinguished Technical Security Engineer
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.
Andrei Ungureanu
Security Architect
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.
Chris Wallace
Security Architect
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.
