Trusted by security teams all over the world

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

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

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.

FAQs

What is a contributing developer?

“Contributing Developer” means any employee or contractor who during the term of the agreement accesses or uses Mend.io’s web UI application or any engineer, developer or other person that writes, develops or modifies the Customer’s, or Customer’s affiliate’s, code being scanned or monitored by the Mend AppSec Platform. For the avoidance of doubt, the same individual will not be counted more than once even if acting in two separate roles such as a developer and platform user.

Why are you pricing per contributing developer?

Mend.io enables developers and security professionals to write secure code and utilize secure components, across every area of the SDLC. Therefore, pricing based on the number of Contributing Developers best reflects the impact of our solution, without limiting you on factors such as size of code or number of scans.

Are there additional fees per GB?

No. We take pride in offering transparent, simple, and predictable pricing. We price per Contributing Developer since we know managers have better visibility into the growth of their headcount rather than the size of their software or lines of code.

What’s the difference between Mend AppSec and Mend AI?

Mend AppSec secures the code layer — source code, open-source dependencies, containers, and AI-generated code. Mend AI secures the AI layer itself with AI component discovery and risk insights, system prompt hardening with AIWE scoring, automated red teaming, and in-app runtime guardrails. It can be purchased as an add-on to Mend AppSec or as a standalone product.

How does Mend.io differ from other AppSec vendors?

Most application security tools were built before AI became an application dependency. They inspect code, libraries, and containers well — but they can’t see the models, prompts, agents, and runtime interactions that modern applications now rely on.

Mend.io closes that gap:

• Code-layer security: Mend SAST, Mend SCA, and container visibility — prioritizing what’s exploitable.
• AI-layer security: AI component discovery, system prompt hardening, automated red teaming, and runtime guardrails — protecting the AI systems embedded in your applications.
• Continuous remediation: AI-powered fix suggestions and automated dependency PRs via Mend Renovate.
• Unified governance: A single lifecycle view connecting discovery, prioritization, behavioral testing, and compliance — from code to model to runtime interaction.

How does Mend AppSec handle AI-generated code risks?

Mend AppSec integrates directly with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot to scan code as it’s generated — before it ever reaches your codebase. Mend SAST and Mend SCA (both included in Mend AppSec) feed reachability-aware intelligence directly into agentic development tools, catching vulnerabilities at the moment they’re introduced rather than after merge.

Are there add-ons or expansion options for Mend AppSec?

Yes. In addition to the comprehensive Mend AppSec solution, you can add on or expand your capabilities with Mend AI Premium, DAST, API Security, and EOL (End of Life) Support for open source projects. A few other items, such as hosting, services, or custom agreements, may also be an additional charge.

What is Mend AI?

Mend AI secures the AI layer that most vendors miss, by discovering and inventorying AI components, providing AI component risk insights, system prompt hardening, AI red teaming to simulate threats like prompt injection and data exfiltration, automated in-app guardrails, as well as proactive policies and governance to manage AI component risks. It can be purchased as an upgrade to Mend AppSec or as a standalone product.

What is Mend Renovate Enterprise?

Mend Renovate Enterprise is an enterprise-grade solution that automates open-source dependency updates with full scale automation and support. It automatically creates pull requests for new package versions and provides advanced features like Merge Confidence ratings and workflows that lets you know the impact each dependency update will have on your application with the ability to group and filter updates. Mend Renovate Enterprise is a key component of Mend AppSec but can also be purchased as a standalone product.

Does the above pricing include all vulnerability sources?

Yes. Mend.io includes the full extent of our database, which supports over 200 programming languages. We aggregate vulnerabilities from the NVD, dozens of security advisories, and popular open source projects issue trackers to make sure you’re always covered.

Are there any limitations to the number of applications, projects, or scans that can be utilized?

Pricing is per contributing developer which does not limit you with code size, number of scans, and number of applications. Limitations of the available expansion options may vary.
