Introducing Mend's Integration with Microsoft Defender for Cloud

We’re excited to announce a powerful new integration between Mend.io and Microsoft Defender for Cloud (MDC)—a step forward in our mission to bring intelligent, actionable, and context-rich open source security directly into the cloud security workflow. As organizations embrace cloud-native architectures, security teams face the growing challenge of identifying and prioritizing the open source software risks that truly matter.

Securing AI Isn't Just About Your Pipeline #AIsecurity #DevSecOps #AppSec #redteaming

Building AI apps securely is not just about plugging tools into your dev pipeline. It’s about knowing what to do with those tools after they give you results. What risks matter? What policies should you apply? And when is the right time to integrate AI security into your CI/CD? Bar-El Tayouri sits down with Ashish Rajan from The Cloud Security Podcast to discuss why red teaming and scanning aren’t enough and how getting comfortable with AI security before production pays off long-term.

Mend.io & HeroDevs Partnership: Eliminate Risks in Deprecated Package

The increasing reliance on open-source software coupled with the accelerated pace of software development has created a growing need for support of deprecated packages. The significant majority of open-source software packages are not actively maintained, meaning vulnerabilities are not patched, thereby leaving systems open to attack. Malicious actors often target deprecated open-source packages for this very reason.

Vector and Embedding Weaknesses in AI Systems

AI security threats are evolving at roughly the same speed that AI itself is: extremely fast. One of the most recent—and least understood—vulnerabilities involves vector and embedding weaknesses. These issues have gained attention with their addition to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, and the risks are becoming more urgent as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) continues to dominate enterprise AI adoption.

MITRE CVE Program Uncertainty: Mend.io's commitment to uninterrupted vulnerability protection

As many of you may know, MITRE’s DHS contract to manage the CVE and CWE programs expired on April 16, 2025. While emergency funding has since been restored for a short time, the long-term future of these programs still remains uncertain. Understandably, this situation has raised concerns throughout the cybersecurity community about the stability and continuity of vulnerability tracking and management systems that many organizations have come to rely upon.
