| Fact | gosec | Mend SAST |
|---|---|---|
| AI remediation | An optional autofix mode calls an AI API to suggest fixes for findings. | Mend says its AI-powered remediation is 46% more accurate than benchmark competitors, and developers can review and apply proposed fixes. |
| Purpose | gosec inspects Go source code for security problems by scanning its AST and SSA code representation. | Mend SAST is a static application security testing tool for human- and AI-generated code, with vulnerability triage, contextual prioritization, and remediation in developer workflows. |
gosec is for Go developers and teams who want source-code security checks in local workflows or CI. It also suits teams that need configurable rules and machine-readable reports.
Mend SAST suits development teams that want to identify and prioritize code vulnerabilities within their workflows, including flaws in AI-generated code. Its in-environment scanning may suit teams that need proprietary source code to remain within their perimeter.
