Mend.io is built for every risk, across AI and AppSec, securing the code layer, the AI layer, and the interactions between them. From discovery and red teaming to guardrails and runtime protection, Mend.io delivers continuous protection across the entire AI application lifecycle. Mend.io solutions include: 1. Mend AI secures the layer where modern risk actually lives—the interaction between code and AI. It continuously discovers AI components (agents, prompts, models), tests real behavioral risk through automated red teaming, and enforces in-app runtime guardrails for one continuous control system for the AI lifecycle. 2. Mend AppSec secures the modern code layer by continuously discovering and prioritizing risk across code, libraries, containers, and dependencies, giving teams the clarity they need to reduce exposure and ship secure software faster. 3. Mend Renovate secures the foundation of every codebase by automatically updating dependencies, rating the likelihood each update will succeed without breaking changes, and grouping them by confidence level so teams can resolve them faster.
