Mend.io Enhances AI Application Security to Help Organizations Move Faster Than AI-Driven Risk

New capabilities extend AI application protection into runtime while accelerating vulnerability triage, zero-day response, and container risk detection

Mend.io, a leader in application security, today announced new capabilities across Mend AI and Mend AppSec to help organizations respond faster to both traditional application risk and the expanding attack surface created by AI. Mend.io's latest enhancements help teams identify meaningful risk, reduce manual investigation, accelerate response and extend protection from development into production.

As development accelerates, security teams face mounting exposure: rising vulnerability volumes, zero-days, software supply chain threats, and new risks introduced by AI-powered applications. Today’s AppSec teams can no longer focus solely on securing pre-production and increasingly need coverage into runtime. Mend.io is specifically enhancing its offerings to enable organizations to:

"AI is accelerating software development at an unprecedented pace, but it's also changing both the volume and nature of the risks security teams have to manage," said Asaf Saar, EVP and Chief Product Officer at Mend.io. "Organizations need to quickly understand what actually affects their applications, respond when new threats emerge, and protect an entirely new AI application attack surface. Mend.io is bringing those capabilities together so security teams can focus on what matters, fix it faster, and protect applications as they run."

The new capabilities include:

Additional AI-powered capabilities are coming soon. AI-based detection will apply AI reasoning to SAST vulnerability detection where broader application context is valuable, and Mend Intelligent Agent will help security teams investigate and act on application security data more efficiently.

The new capabilities announced today are already helping security teams expand their application security programs without adding complexity, bringing greater context to risk, accelerating response, and helping organizations protect applications as they evolve.

"Mend.io has been with us for years, long before AI security, back when application security was mainly SAST and SCA,” said Alen Pešikan, Principal Software Engineer at Span Software and AI Solutions. “Now Mend.io has helped us grow our program to face the risks AI brings with generated code and in the AI components themselves. Mend.io provides visibility into models, agents, prompts and frameworks, and helps prioritize what matters most to the business. SPAN is able to keep up with a changing attack surface without wearing out our teams. We can see where the exposure sits, focus our resources where they count, and react fast as things change."

Mend.io also will be attending Black Hat USA in Las Vegas from Aug. 4-6, 2026. Visit the team at Booth #5347, or schedule a meeting with one of Mend.io’s experts by visiting .

Mend.io is a leading application security solution that helps organizations fix less and reduce risk faster. Built for both AI-driven and modern development workflows, Mend.io gives teams visibility into all code: human-written, AI-generated, open-source, third-party and container components, and helps them prioritize and remediate the risks that matter most.
