Radware, a global provider of application security and delivery solutions for multi‑cloud environments, said Tuesday it has completed its acquisition of Pynt, a company specializing in API security testing.
Radware said the deal expands its API security offerings by adding pre‑production testing capabilities that help customers identify and fix security risks in application programming interfaces earlier in the development process, while continuing to protect APIs in production environments.
Radware said the acquisition is not expected to have a material impact on its financial results for 2026. Key Pynt employees, including its founders, have joined Radware following the close of the transaction.
APIs are widely used in modern applications, but security gaps often go unnoticed until after they are deployed. Radware recently launched its API Security Service, and with the addition of Pynt’s testing tools, the company said it now offers continuous, risk‑based API protection that spans design, testing, deployment and runtime. The combined capabilities include API discovery, posture management, business logic protection and runtime defense.
“API security cannot stop at the code or start only in production,” said Haim Zelikovsky, Radware vice president of cloud security business. “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.”
Pynt co‑founder and CEO Tzvika Shneider said joining Radware will help the team “further develop our vision for modern API security testing while integrating it with industry-leading runtime protection and threat intelligence.”
Shneider said Pynt’s technology will remain available both as a standalone solution and as part of Radware’s broader application security and API protection portfolio, serving enterprise development, security and DevSecOps teams.
Radware’s products use artificial intelligence‑driven tools to provide real‑time protection against sophisticated web and application attacks, including distributed denial‑of‑service attacks, API abuse and malicious bots. The company’s solutions are used by enterprises and carriers worldwide to protect brands and operations while lowering cybersecurity costs.
