Escape: Redefining API Security
About
Escape delivers an innovative API security platform that protects APIs through a novel method, eliminating the requirement for traffic observation. Within minutes, it uncovers the complete API attack surface, enabling a rapid and thorough assessment of vulnerabilities. The platform also supports automated API documentation creation, simplifying workflows for developers while keeping API specifications consistently documented and current. Furthermore, it effectively detects sophisticated business logic vulnerabilities that might otherwise escape notice, enhancing overall application security.
Details
Escape is an AI-powered offensive security engineering platform that replaces legacy scanners and manual security processes with AI agents. It discovers, tests, and remediates vulnerabilities across APIs, applications, and infrastructure directly within engineering workflows. The platform provides Attack Surface Management (ASM), business-logic-aware DAST that tests workflows and access control, AI pentesting with agentic attack reasoning and proof of exploitability, and AI-assisted remediation with code snippets tailored to frameworks like React, Django, and Spring Boot. Escape automates end-to-end security via a programmable API, CLI, and MCP Server, supports CI/CD integration and event-based workflows, and delivers continuous compliance validation for PCI-DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and over 20 other frameworks. It integrates with Wiz for unified risk visibility and is trusted by 2000+ security teams.
