Pynt and Postman: A New Era in API Security

In a significant move aimed at enhancing API security, Pynt, the innovative AI-powered security platform, has announced a partnership with Postman, the premier API collaboration platform globally. This collaboration promises to integrate robust API security capabilities directly into Postman, allowing developers to access real-time security insights seamlessly within their existing workflow.

Transforming Developer Experiences

Developers working with APIs often face the challenge of switching between multiple tools to ensure their applications are secure. However, with this new integration, users can detect vulnerabilities without the hassle of context-switching or relying on external security scans. This initiative is expected to enhance developer efficiency significantly.

Ori Goldberg, co-founder and CTO of Pynt, emphasized that, "Security has to work where development teams work." He noted that thousands of developers already benefit from Pynt's integration with Postman, and this formal partnership will officially transition Postman into a proactive security framework that natively supports Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) workflows.

The Importance of Postman in API Management

With over 40 million users, Postman has established itself as the go-to platform for managing APIs throughout their lifecycle—from design and testing to deployment and monitoring. As security threats continue to rise and regulatory requirements become more stringent, developers and security teams urgently need faster and more efficient methods to ensure their applications are secure from the start.

Postman’s recent introduction of “secure-by-design” features demonstrates a strong commitment to embedding security earlier in the development process. By integrating Pynt's cutting-edge API security capabilities, developers can now identify verified vulnerabilities during testing phases rather than post-deployment, significantly improving their security posture.

Enhancing Security Scans with Pynt

Once developers connect Pynt with Postman, they can effortlessly trigger security scans from their collections, simulating attacks similar to what hackers might employ. This setup eliminates the need for complex configurations or exporting data, allowing developers to:

• - Detect both common and advanced API vulnerabilities
• - Validate their applications against standards like the OWASP API Top 10
• - Prioritize critical issues without false positives
• - Maintain security while preserving their workflow speed

Postman’s Head of Partnerships and Ecosystem, Bryant Lee, noted, "Pynt helps our users shift left without slowing down. With this integration, developers can catch and resolve security issues on their APIs before deployment without leaving their workflow on the Postman platform." This collaborative effort will ultimately empower developers with actionable insights into their security landscape.

Key Benefits for Postman Users

The integration comes packed with several benefits:

• - Frictionless Security: Security checks can be conducted without leaving Postman, eliminating downtime caused by waiting for external reports.
• - Actionable Feedback: Developers will be presented with only genuine threats that have been verified from real scans.
• - Confidence to Ship: Teams can ensure that their APIs are secure before they go live, fostering trust in their deployment processes.

Building Secure Applications from the Ground Up

This partnership between Pynt and Postman signifies a pivotal movement towards building applications that prioritize security from the outset. By embedding these security measures directly into a widely used development platform, teams can create safe applications without sacrificing speed or user experience.

As the development landscape continues to evolve and more teams adopt Postman for collaborative testing, Pynt ensures that security will not be an obstacle but rather an empowering component of the development process.
