Radware Ltd. completed the acquisition of Pynt, a cybersecurity firm that builds pre‑production API security testing tools, on January 26, 2026. The deal, valued in the tens of millions of dollars, adds Pynt’s platform to Radware’s existing API protection suite and brings the company’s first‑party API testing capabilities in front of its runtime security services.
Pynt, founded in 2022 in Israel and now headquartered in Mahwah, New Jersey, raised a $6 million seed round and employed roughly 15 people. Its platform scans APIs for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before code is deployed, allowing developers to remediate risks early in the software lifecycle. By integrating Pynt, Radware closes the gap between shift‑left testing and shift‑right runtime protection, offering customers a single, end‑to‑end solution.
"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," said Haim Zelikovsky, Vice President of Cloud Security Business at Radware. The acquisition follows Radware’s recent launch of its API Security Service and positions the company to capture growing demand for continuous security testing in API‑first environments.
"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," added Tzvika Shneider, CEO and co‑founder of Pynt.
Radware stated that the transaction is not expected to have a material impact on its 2026 financial results. The company’s Q2 2025 earnings saw an EPS beat of $0.02 and a revenue beat of $0.80 million, reflecting strong demand for its security services and disciplined cost management. The acquisition aligns with the broader market trend of expanding API usage and the need for integrated security solutions, positioning Radware to drive future revenue growth without immediate financial strain.
