Mend.io is broadening its application security (AppSec) capabilities to protect the five leading agentic integrated development environments (IDEs)—Windsurf, CoPilot, Claude Code, Amazon Q Developer, and Cursor. This expansion ensures that development teams can operate at AI speed while maintaining strong security standards.
The Next Era of Software Development
Agentic IDEs are transforming the way software is created. Developers now work alongside intelligent coding agents capable of generating, refactoring, and debugging complete codebases in just seconds. Industry leaders such as Google and Microsoft estimate that up to 30% of their code is currently generated by AI—and that proportion continues to rise.
However, this rapid acceleration raises a crucial question: who safeguards the code before it undergoes review or testing? Conventional security tools intervene too late—only after AI-generated code has already been committed to the repository.
Security Integrated at the Point of Creation
Security is now embedded directly within the AI development workflow. Through the integration of Mend SAST and Mend SCA into agentic IDEs via the Mend MCP server, developers receive continuous, real-time protection as AI agents generate code.
- Instant vulnerability detection. Mend SAST identifies security flaws in both AI-generated and custom-written code as it is being produced.
- Automated issue remediation. Mend SAST and Mend SCA provide findings directly within the IDE, enabling the resolution of vulnerabilities in proprietary and open-source code before commits reach the CI/CD pipeline.
- Seamless secure development. All these processes occur natively within the IDE environment, ensuring security without disrupting development workflows.
For Teams Developing at AI Speed
From development leaders who focus on scaling AI safely, to security experts who need better visibility—proactive security is now essential. DevSecOps teams also rely on automation to keep up their speed without adding risk.
Mend.io brings protection straight into AI coding environments. This helps developers build software faster and smarter. It also makes their work more resilient and secure.
As the ecosystem of AI-assisted development tools continues to expand, security solutions must evolve in parallel. Mend.io’s integrations with agentic IDEs represent a major advancement toward autonomous, AI-native application security—where code is not only generated intelligently, but also secured intelligently.
