## Executive Summary

Pynt built developer-first API security testing that let engineers run real attack simulations against their APIs from inside Postman or Burp. It later extended into testing LLM APIs and Model Context Protocol servers. Thousands of developers and security experts used it, and the free tester runs inside Postman, Burp, and Selenium. In January 2026 Radware acquired Pynt for an estimated tens of millions, and the founders joined to add their pre-production testing to Radware's API protection portfolio. Radware positions Pynt as the pre-production component of its full-lifecycle API security portfolio, integrated alongside its runtime protection. Pynt's technology now sells both on its own and inside Radware.
