Mend

CatalogScorecards

Summary​

Mend is an automated application security and remediation platform. It can be used to drive insights into static & software composition analysis.

Setup​

In order to connect Cortex to your Mend instance, you’ll need to create an API token, and add it under Settings → Mend. Additionally, you'll need your organization name, which can be found in the SAST interface under Administration → Organizations.

caution

If you do not see the Settings page you're looking for in the sidebar, you likely don't have the proper permissions and need to contact your admin.

caution
If you’re using a self-hosted instance of Mend, you’ll need to verify that your Cortex instance is able to reach the Mend instance. See our IP Whitelist section for more.

Advanced Configuration​

If you’re unable to expose your Mend instance to be reachable by Cortex, you can set up a Custom Integration Webhook.

Registration​

Discovery​

By default, Cortex will use your associated Git repository (e.g. repo-name) as the "best guess" for the Mend application name.

If your repository names don’t cleanly match the Mend application names, you can override this in the Cortex Service Descriptor.

Catalog Descriptor​

If you need to override the automatic discovery, you can define the following block in your Cortex Catalog Descriptor.

x-cortex-static-analysis:
  mend:
    applicationIds:
      - mend_id_1
      - mend_id_2

These application IDs can be found in the Mend SAST web interface.
