Offensive security for the teams that are 100x outnumbered
Replace legacy scanners and manual offensive security processes with AI agents that discover, test, and remediate directly in your engineering workflows.
Escape offers an AI-powered offensive security platform that combines asset discovery, business-logic aware testing, and AI-assisted remediation to secure modern applications, APIs, and infrastructure. It emphasizes scalable, integrated offensive security that operates within engineering workflows to replace legacy scanners and manual processes.
Escape provides a platform with: 1) Attack Surface Management (ASM) to discover and validate exposure across code-to-cloud assets, including APIs and infrastructure; 2) Business-logic-aware DAST that tests workflows and multi-step processes at the business logic level with modern authentication integrations; 3) AI Pentesting that scales manual penetration testing using agentic, graph-context driven attack reasoning with proof of exploitability; 4) AI-assisted Remediation delivering code-level remediation guidance and automated suggestions integrated into IDEs; 5) End-to-end automation and CI/CD integration with programmable APIs, CLI, and server workflows; 6) Compliance automation offering one-click audit-ready reports for multiple frameworks. The platform emphasizes real-time findings delivery to asset owners and continuous security across the development lifecycle.
Who it’s for: Security teams in medium to large organizations needing scalable, AI-assisted offensive security integrated into engineering workflows.
