Mend.io (formerly WhiteSource) is a Software Composition Analysis (SCA) platform designed to help enterprises manage the security and compliance of open-source software (OSS). It enables organizations to automate open-source component risk management, ensuring compliance and enhancing software supply chain security.

Mend.io provides real-time scanning of OSS packages within applications, identifying security vulnerabilities and compliance risks while offering recommendations for remediation. This helps organizations mitigate cybersecurity risks associated with open-source dependencies. Additionally, Mend.io features license compliance management, automatically detecting open-source licenses in software to ensure adherence to internal policies and regulatory requirements, reducing potential legal risks. Mend.io also generates Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and provides continuous monitoring and updates.

With Mend.io, enterprises can seamlessly integrate open-source security and compliance checks into their CI/CD development pipelines, allowing them to detect and address issues early in the development cycle. This reduces remediation costs, minimizes compliance risks, and improves development efficiency.
