Pynt at a Glance

Learn how Pynt automates API security with contextual analysis, real-world attack simulations, API discovery, and continuous monitoring.

At a Glance: 🚀 Pynt automates API security testing with real-world attack simulations, contextual analysis for accurate vulnerability detection, discovers undocumented APIs, and integrates seamlessly into your CI/CD pipeline for continuous protection.

Pynt is a cutting-edge API security platform that automates vulnerability detection using context-aware attack simulations. Its contextual analysis makes it more precise by understanding how APIs function within specific environments, leading to fewer false positives and more relevant findings.

Key Features

• Shift-Left Security: 🕒 Introduces security early in the development lifecycle, enabling developers to detect vulnerabilities before production.

• Contextual Analysis for Attack Simulation: 🔍 Pynt analyzes the context of your API traffic, understanding the unique behavior of your APIs. This results in more accurate attack simulations tailored to your specific environment.

• Business Logic Security: 🔒 Pynt identifies vulnerabilities related to business logic that conventional tools often miss.

• Continuous Monitoring: 🔄 Integrates with CI/CD pipelines for ongoing, automated API security checks.

• Comprehensive API Discovery: 📚 Automatically discovers shadow and undocumented APIs through the API catalog feature, ensuring no API endpoint is left unmonitored.

Pynt's Major Components

Pynt consists of two main components:

1. Pynt Security Tests: These are deployed via a container and can be run locally or in the CI/CD pipeline. This is part of Pynt's free Starter Plan and is accessible via www.pynt.io. Designed for running automated security scans.

2. Pynt SaaS: A centralized platform that allows security owners to manage all APIs and scans in one place. Available with the Business Plan, this component is accessible via app.pynt.io.

How Pynt Security Testing Works

Pynt captures and analyzes your API traffic to simulate real-world attacks. Using its contextual analysis, Pynt verifies the success of attacks, ensuring highly accurate results with minimal false positives. This tailored approach helps to catch real vulnerabilities while avoiding unnecessary alerts.

Coverage Includes:

• OWASP API Security Top 10: Targeting critical risks in APIs like broken object-level authorization and excessive data exposure. Learn more

• OWASP Top 10 for Web Applications: Identifying common web vulnerabilities, including injection and broken authentication. Learn more

• OWASP Top 10 for LLMs: Addressing new risks posed by large language models interacting with APIs. Learn more

By automating both security testing and API discovery with contextual analysis, Pynt provides comprehensive coverage, ensuring that your APIs meet industry-standard security benchmarks.
