Mend SAST
What Mend SAST is
Mend SAST is a static application security testing tool that analyzes source code written by people or AI assistants. It helps development teams identify vulnerabilities, sort findings by context, and address issues within developer workflows. Mend supports more than 30 programming languages, including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C#, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift, Kotlin, and C/C++.
Scanning runs on-premises or inside the customer’s environment, keeping proprietary source code within that perimeter. Findings, dashboards, and policy management run in Mend’s cloud. The product integrates with development environments, code hosts, and CI/CD tools including JetBrains, VS Code, Visual Studio, GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins, CircleCI, and GitHub Actions. It can also provide vulnerability information to Cursor, Windsurf, and Copilot.
Mend says incremental scans can run up to 10x faster than traditional SAST tools by analyzing changed code. Its detection claims start with 38% better precision and 48% better recall than benchmark competitors; its AI remediation is claimed to be 46% more accurate. Developers can review and apply proposed fixes. It also detects hardcoded credentials, API keys, tokens, and certificates, which can trigger policy violations and fail a build. The Mend AppSec plan is listed at $1,000 a year and includes SAST, SCA, AI-generated code security, AI-powered fix suggestions, and automated dependency updates.
