Problem
Organizations face challenges in identifying API vulnerabilities before deployment, leading to potential security breaches and compliance issues. Manual API security testing is often tedious, slow, and prone to human error, while existing solutions may yield false positives and lack comprehensive API discovery.
Solution
Pynt is an AI-powered API security testing platform that automates attack simulations to proactively identify vulnerabilities in traditional APIs, modern APIs, and LLM APIs. The platform integrates into CI/CD pipelines, enabling organizations to shift API security to the left and detect security risks early in the development lifecycle. By learning the application context, API structure, users, roles, and parameters, Pynt simulates real-world attacks, pinpoints the fix with full evidence, and provides a clear remediation path.
Target Audience
Pynt targets AppSec/InfoSec leaders, DevOps/DevSecOps leaders, software engineering leaders, and security analysts/pentesters seeking to automate and improve their API security testing processes.
