Acquisition adds API security testing to Radware’s comprehensive API security portfolio, extending protection to all stages of the API lifecycle
Radware® (NASDAQ: RDWR), a global leader in application security and delivery solutions for multi-cloud environments, announced it has completed the acquisition of Pynt, an API security testing company. The acquisition enhances Radware’s API security portfolio by adding pre-production API security testing capabilities, enabling customers to identify and remediate API security risk earlier in the development lifecycle while maintaining continuous protection in production.
The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on Radware’s 2026 financial results; however, see “Safe Harbor Statement” below regarding forward-looking statements. Key Pynt employees, including its founders, joined Radware following the close of the transaction.
APIs power most modern applications, yet security gaps often remain hidden until APIs go live. This acquisition follows the recent launch of Radware API Security Service. By combining Pynt’s API security testing capabilities with Radware’s API discovery, posture management, business logic protection, and runtime defense, Radware is delivering continuous, risk-driven API security from development through production. Radware provides a unified approach that spans design, testing, deployment, and runtime, helping organizations align development velocity with real-world risk reduction.

“API security cannot stop at the code or start only in production,” said Haim Zelikovsky, vice president, cloud security business at Radware. “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.”
“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,” said Tzvika Shneider, CEO and co-founder of Pynt. “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.”
Pynt’s technology continues to be available as a standalone solution as well as integrated into Radware’s broader application security and API protection portfolio, simplifying API security for enterprise development, security, and DevSecOps teams.
