What Escape is
Escape is an offensive security platform that brings together attack surface management, business-logic-aware dynamic application security testing (DAST), and AI pentesting. Its AI agents discover and test security issues and help teams address them in engineering workflows. DAST covers application workflows, access controls, and multi-step processes, including OAuth, SSO, and multi-tenant applications. AI Pentesting looks for complex attack chains and can supply evidence such as screenshots, execution logs, and validated attack paths. Scans can be authenticated, scheduled, and API-based; JavaScript crawling and compliance reports are also supported. Automation options include a public API, CLI, MCP server, event-based workflows, and CI/CD triggers. Escape names Wiz for asset and risk context, and Cursor, Claude Code, and Gemini for AI-assisted remediation. The company says its platform supports PCI-DSS, HIPAA, CRA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and more than 20 other frameworks. It is a paid hybrid service with custom pricing scoped to the environment; Escape was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Biarritz, France.
