Overview
Escape Technologies offers an API security platform that inventories all exposed APIs, including shadow and zombie APIs, and runs security and business logic tests inside the CI/CD workflow. Its AI-powered scanner detects risks such as OWASP Top 10 and flaws like Broken Object Level Authorization, while the Feedback Driven API Exploration algorithm finds issues that traditional DAST tools miss and provides remediation code snippets. The platform integrates into developers’ and security engineers’ workflows to support DevSecOps and regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS) without needing access to API traffic. Its goal is to help organizations securely manage APIs at scale, expand internationally, and grow its customer base beyond early adopters.

- If enterprise buyers standardize on broader ASPM suites, Escape becomes a feature, not a company.
What makes Escape Technologies unique
- Escape's feedback-driven exploration tests business logic, not just signatures or traffic.
- Its agentless discovery maps shadow APIs, REST, GraphQL, MCP, gRPC, and SOAP.
- Continuous AI pentesting in 2026 ties findings to release changes and audit trails.
