Escape

What the company sells

Escape sells an offensive security platform that uses AI agents to discover, test and remediate vulnerabilities in engineering workflows. Escape says the platform replaces legacy scanners and manual offensive security processes.

Escape says it rebuilds offensive and application security from the ground up, covering business logic testing, agentic pentesting and code-to-cloud correlation. Escape states that all of this is always developed in-house.

Escape's AI Pentesting is continuous AI-powered pentesting that learns the customer's business, proves exploitability, and delivers reports that auditors and engineers can act on. White-box pentesting is available, so Escape's AI Pentesting can run with the customer's source code. Escape also converts previous AI pentesting findings into automated regression tests that run on every build with DAST.

Escape's DAST is described as in-house and AI-powered, and it secures applications at the business logic level. Escape's testing covers workflows, access control and multi-step processes, not just payloads.

Escape's external network pentesting is continuous testing of everything reachable from the internet. Every host, port and exposed service is probed the way an attacker would, with proof of what is exploitable, followed by a retest. Escape's attack surface management discovers and validates exposure of modern applications, APIs and infrastructure from code to cloud. Escape discovers APIs and SPAs, not just DNS and ports, both internal and external.

Escape's documentation says its platform section applies across all Escape products: ASM, DAST and AI Pentesting. Customers can deploy a Private Location in their own network to discover and test internal applications. Private Locations enable scanning of applications that are not accessible from the public internet.

On integrations, Escape sends assets directly to Wiz. Escape offers a public API, a CLI and an MCP Server, and says security gates run in CI/CD when scans are triggered on every push. Escape also has native integrations with AI-assisted IDEs such as Cursor, Claude Code and Gemini for remediation.

For compliance, Escape says PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CRA, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and 20+ other frameworks are natively supported. Escape maintains SOC 2 Type II certification. Escape uses proprietary AI models on AWS infrastructure, Microsoft Azure LLM Deployments and Cloudflare Workers AI Models.^{[2][5][6][7][10][13]}
