Ron Rymon Turned One Miserable Code Audit Into a Company
A punishing due-diligence exercise showed a computer scientist that open-source security was working against developers. His answer became WhiteSource, now Mend.io - and the clearest expression of a career spent turning technical friction into companies.
Mend.io
Mend.io, formerly WhiteSource, is a Boston- and Tel Aviv-based application security company that helps development and security teams find and fix vulnerabilities in open source dependencies, custom code, and AI-generated code. Its platform spans software composition analysis (SCA), static and dynamic testing (SAST/DAST), API security, automated dependency updates via Renovate, and a growing suite of AI security tools. Serving more than 1,000 customers including a quarter of the Fortune 100, Mend.io emphasizes automated remediation - producing exact code fixes rather than long lists of alerts - to help teams reduce security debt without slowing delivery.
