Move faster than AI-driven risk: Inside Mend.io’s latest AI application security update
Brief
AI didn’t just change how fast you ship. It changed what your AI application security program has to protect.
Two years ago, security teams protected code, open source, and containers. Today they also have to protect AI agents, MCP servers, models, prompts, and runtime interactions, configured or deployed faster than any team can manually review. The attack surface didn’t grow. It exploded.
And here’s the uncomfortable part: the bottleneck was never finding vulnerabilities. Every scanner on the market can hand you a long list of findings. The real question security teams are stuck on is simpler and harder: which of these actually matter, and what do I fix first?
Meanwhile, AI keeps writing more code, surfacing more vulnerabilities, and moving zero-days from disclosure to exploitation faster than most teams can triage while headcount stays exactly the same.
