Integrate Mend SAST with Vulnetix. Export security findings from the Mend platform.
How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace Mend SAST. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of Mend SAST (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
Mend SAST is strongest at its core category and also carries features in SAST, Container & Image Scanning, License Compliance, SBOM Generation, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | Mend SAST |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ✓ Mend SAST does pattern-matching and dataflow analysis across many languages |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✓ Core product; end-to-end SCA with reachability |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✗ |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✓ Mend Container scans images for vulnerabilities |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✗ |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ✗ |
| Cloud / CSPM | ✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab | ✗ |
| Mobile (MAST) | ~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine | ✗ |
| License compliance | ✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy | ✓ Real-time license-policy alerts, blocking and remediation |
| SBOM generation | ✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable | ✓ Exports SPDX and CycloneDX, imports third-party SBOMs, leverages VEX |
| Malware / supply-chain | ✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries) | ~ Malicious-package protection exists but is secondary to vuln/license focus |
| Network / infra vuln | ~ Ingests network scanner output; no native network scanner | ✗ |
| Fuzzing | ✗ Ingests fuzzing crashes; no native fuzzer | ✗ |
| Pentest / bug bounty | ✗ Ingests pentest/bug-bounty findings; not a testing service | ✗ |
| The Vulnetix orchestration layer | ||
| Cross-scanner dedup & one queue (ASPM) | ✓ Correlates every scanner into one prioritised queue with ownership routing | ~ Unified platform shares policy and prioritization across SAST/SCA/container; not a broad third-party ASPM aggregator |
| Exploit-intel prioritisation | ✓ EPSS, CISA KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV | ✓ Combines CVSS with EPSS and CISA KEV for prioritization |
| Reachability analysis | ✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic | ✓ Function-level reachability for direct and transitive deps |
| Versioned VEX + audit trail | ✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Safe Harbour autofix | ✓ Resolves + applies the nearest safe version | ✓ Mend Renovate automated update PRs plus AI-powered fixes |
| End-of-life policy | ✓ Flags/blocks past-EOL runtimes & packages | ✗ |
| SSVC / risk-based policy | ✓ SSVC v2 + CISA/FedRAMP/Essential-8 presets | ✗ |
✓ full · ~ partial · ✗ not covered
What Mend SAST does well
- Best-in-class SCA heritage (formerly WhiteSource) with function-level reachability analysis across direct and transitive dependencies to cut noise
- Mend Renovate automates dependency-update PRs, and AI-powered fixes claim up to 75% reduction in remediation effort
- Unified single-price platform bundling SCA, SAST, container, dependency updates and AI security with shared policy and prioritization
- Mature license compliance with real-time policy alerts, blocking, and SBOM export in SPDX and CycloneDX plus VEX import
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Mend is a strong SCA-first platform with reachability, EPSS/KEV prioritization and Renovate autofix, overlapping several of Vulnetix's layer capabilities. The difference is scope: Vulnetix is scanner-agnostic orchestration that deduplicates across many tools (not just its own engines) and natively adds IaC, secrets, cloud/CSPM, an install-time package firewall and a supply-chain malware feed, plus a richer prioritization stack (adds Coalition ESS, CWSS and Vulnetix LEV to EPSS/KEV), immutable versioned VEX with audit, EOL policy and SSVC. Vulnetix can ingest Mend's SCA/SAST results and fold them into one prioritized queue.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. Mend SAST keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise Mend SAST results in Vulnetix
Upload Mend SAST SARIF output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
