Introduction

Escape aims to replace legacy scanners and manual offensive security with AI agents that discover, test and remediate within engineering workflows. Its in-house, AI-powered DAST tests applications at the business-logic level, and continuous AI pentesting runs on every release in minutes, with AI red teaming included.

It also discovers and secures APIs and correlates findings from code to cloud. A published case study explains how Amp got its SOC 2 Type II pentest evidence in hours.

Launch and background: Y Combinator’s company directory lists Escape in its Winter 2023 batch, with the one-liner “Offensive security for the teams that are 100x outnumbered”. Escape was launched on Hacker News on 1 February 2024.
