Radware has completed the acquisition of API security testing specialist Pynt, strengthening its ability to deliver full-lifecycle API security across development and production environments.
The acquisition expands Radware’s API security portfolio by adding pre-production testing capabilities, allowing organisations to identify and remediate API vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle while maintaining continuous protection once APIs are deployed. Radware said the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on its 2026 financial results. Pynt’s founders and key personnel have joined Radware following the close of the deal.
APIs underpin the majority of modern applications, yet many security weaknesses only surface once services are live. Radware said the acquisition builds on the recent launch of its API Security Service, enabling a unified approach that spans API discovery, posture management, business logic protection, runtime defence and now security testing.
By integrating Pynt’s testing technology with its existing capabilities, Radware aims to provide continuous, risk-driven API security from design and development through to deployment and runtime. The company said this approach helps organisations balance development speed with meaningful risk reduction, reducing noise and focusing security efforts on business-critical APIs.
Haim Zelikovsky, Radware’s vice president of cloud security business, said API security must address both development and production environments. He said the addition of Pynt closes the gap between “shift-left” and “shift-right” strategies, giving customers a single, integrated platform to manage real API security risk.
Pynt CEO and co-founder Tzvika Shneider said joining Radware provides the resources and scale to further develop modern API security testing while integrating it with advanced runtime protection and threat intelligence. He said the combination would enable greater value for customers.
Pynt’s technology will continue to be available as a standalone solution as well as integrated into Radware’s broader application security and API protection portfolio, supporting enterprise development, security and DevSecOps teams.
