Radware has completed its acquisition of Pynt, an API security testing company, expanding Radware’s API security capabilities beyond runtime protection and into earlier stages of the development process. The deal adds pre-production testing designed to help organizations identify and remediate API security risks before APIs go live, complementing Radware’s existing in-production defenses.
The company said the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on its 2026 financial results. Key Pynt employees, including its founders, joined Radware after the transaction closed.
Radware positioned the acquisition as a way to unify “shift-left” and “shift-right” API security strategies, combining Pynt’s testing with Radware’s API discovery, posture management, business logic protection, and runtime defense. The integrated approach is intended to deliver continuous, risk-driven API security across the full lifecycle, spanning design, testing, deployment, and runtime, while reducing operational noise for development, security, and DevSecOps teams.
Pynt’s technology will remain available both as a standalone solution and as part of Radware’s broader application security and API protection portfolio.
KEY QUOTES
“API security cannot stop at the code or start only in production. With Pynt, we close the gap between shift-left and shift-right strategies, helping customers focus on real API security risk, reduce noise, and protect business-critical APIs with a single, integrated platform.”
Haim Zelikovsky, vice president, cloud security business at Radware
“Becoming part of Radware provides our team with the resources and platform to further develop our vision for modern API security testing while integrating it with industry-leading runtime protection and threat intelligence. Radware’s technology, scale, and commitment to API security make it a great home for our team and our ideas, and together we can deliver far more value to customers.”
Tzvika Shneider, CEO and co-founder of Pynt
