Mend.io has been recognized as a Gold Award winner in the Application Security category at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.
Why Mend.io Stood Out
Mend.io closes the gap between traditional application security and the new risks introduced by AI-driven development. Many tools still struggle to distinguish between human-written and AI-generated components. Mend.io has built a unified platform that secures both. It delivers deep visibility into proprietary code, open-source dependencies, and the AI layer, including AI-generated code, Large Language Models (LLMs), agents, and RAG pipelines.
The platform’s core innovation lies in its ability to detect AI-specific threats, such as system prompt injection and system prompt weaknesses, within the same workflow used for standard software security. Rather than overwhelming developers with alerts, Mend.io applies reachability analysis to identify only vulnerabilities that are actually exploitable. This allows security teams to reduce remediation effort by filtering out irrelevant findings and concentrating on preventing real-world attacks.
This practical approach has driven strong market adoption. Trusted by more than 900 organizations, Mend.io demonstrates that enterprises can adopt GenAI tools without compromising security or speed.
