TEL AVIV, Israel And BOSTON, June 10, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Unique Mend AI identifies, tracks and secures AI models and AI-generated code.

Mend.io, a leader in application security, today announced the launch of Mend AI, a unique new tool designed to identify, track and secure AI models and AI-generated code.

While AI holds enormous potential to drive rapid and innovative software development, using it responsibly and securely has become a major concern for governments and businesses.

Developers can now quickly and easily access pre-trained AI models through platforms like Hugging Face, as well as AI-generated functions and programs through Large Language Models (LLM). However, security has not kept pace and organizations are still evaluating how to include AI components in their software in a way that is safe, secure, and compliant with emerging legal and regulatory concerns.

“As with open source components, the first thing organizations need to know is what’s present in their codebases,” said Rami Sass, co-founder and CEO, Mend.io. “Mend AI can identify and provide information, including license, version, and any security advisories, on the 350,000 AI models indexed on Hugging Face, the world’s most popular open source AI library and community .

Mend AI also provides increased transparency in applications with advanced BOM support for AI models. The AI-BOM provides a holistic view of the direct, transitive, and artificial intelligence components and dependencies used in an application. Additionally, Mend AI enhances Mend SCA, the industry-leading software composition analysis tool, to cover the AI-driven portion of the modern software supply chain.

With this information, security and compliance teams can track AI usage in their code base, ensure the latest and most secure versions of AI models are used, and make informed decisions in policy and governance for their organizations. As AI technology and vulnerability monitoring frameworks emerge and mature, the company will continue to evolve Mend AI, along with its other products, to address emerging application security challenges.
