Key new capabilities include AI agent discovery and configuration risk scanning (detecting prompt injection, credential exposure, excessive permissions), end-of-life model detection, malicious package detection in container images, agentic SAST triage to reduce false positives, contextual project classification for smarter prioritization, improved zero-day response workflows, and real-time AI runtime guardrails deployable as an in-app component or standalone proxy. The release also previews AI-based SAST detection and a Mend Intelligent Agent for security investigation. The platform aims to unify pre-deployment and runtime AI security rather than treating them as separate concerns. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
