Automated AI Bill of Materials (AI-BOM) Management

Gain complete visibility into every AI component powering your applications — from models and frameworks to RAG pipelines, model context protocols (MCPs), and Shadow AI — continuously updated and always audit-ready.

Challenges

AI development moves fast. Manual inventories can’t keep up.

With teams rapidly adopting third-party models, open source datasets, and AI-powered libraries, maintaining an accurate AI component inventory is nearly impossible without automation.

Constant change

New AI models, fine-tuned versions, and training datasets are introduced constantly — making it nearly impossible to track what’s running in production.

Manual processes

Manually cataloging AI models, their provenance, and associated risks across every application and team guarantees blind spots and compliance gaps.

Incomplete visibility

Vulnerabilities in models, poisoned training data, and unlicensed AI assets can go undetected until it’s too late.

Opportunities

Beyond inventory to active AI risk management

Meeting compliance requirements is a critical first step. The real value is using that visibility to proactively manage risk across your entire AI supply chain.

Eliminate blind spots

Build a continuous AI component inventory by automatically discovering every Shadow AI component, model, framework, MCP, and RAG pipeline across your stack.

Stay ahead of AI vulnerabilities

Continuously monitor your AI supply chain for known vulnerabilities, malicious models, and compromised training data — with up-to-the-minute risk assessments.

Prioritize real risk

Reachability analysis and runtime context focus remediation on what’s actually exploitable.

The solution

Mend AI

Mend AI automates your AI bill of materials, delivering complete visibility into every AI component in your software — including Shadow AI, models, frameworks, MCPs, and RAG pipelines. It automatically scans your applications to build a comprehensive, machine-readable AI asset inventory in SPDX and CycloneDX formats, so your team always knows what’s running, where it came from, and whether it can be trusted.

Component and license identification

Continuous coverage

Risk prioritization and remediation

Model trust and integrity

MTTR

“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”

Fast, secure, compliant

“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”

Immediate insights

“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
