Mend (formerly WhiteSource) reduces the time it takes to remediate through prioritization. Mend (formerly WhiteSource) has recently introduced the ability to prioritize vulnerabilities by performing static scans to understand if the vulnerable part of a component is being directly called by the application. If it isn’t, the vulnerability is deprioritized. Another recently released feature is to automatically remediate vulnerabilities by creating pull requests to upgrade to a version that complies with company policy.

Customers praise Mend (formerly WhiteSource) broad language coverage and customer support but note that the product could do a better job of visualizing transitive dependencies. Mend (formerly WhiteSource) has very few weaknesses, but the bill of materials (BOM) functionality falls short, and to keep pace, Mend (formerly WhiteSource) will need to offer out-of-the-box comparison between current and historic BOMs.

Mend (formerly WhiteSource)is best for companies that require scanning at the earliest points of the SDLC and are looking for prioritization and automatic remediation.
