What is Escape?
Escape is an API security tool that scans your applications to find vulnerabilities without requiring continuous traffic monitoring. It maps your API attack surface, generates API documentation automatically, and identifies business logic flaws that could be exploited. The tool integrates directly into your development workflow, checking for security issues during the CI/CD pipeline rather than waiting for traffic analysis. It's designed for development teams and security engineers who need to spot API vulnerabilities early and fix them quickly, along with compliance tracking and specific remediation guidance for each issue found.
Key Features
API attack surface discovery
identifies exposed endpoints and potential entry points within minutes
Automatic API documentation generation
creates documentation from your actual APIs without manual effort
Business logic vulnerability detection
finds flaws in how APIs handle requests and data
CI/CD integration
runs security checks automatically during your build and deployment pipeline
Compliance management
tracks security status against regulatory requirements
Remediation guidance
provides specific steps to fix identified vulnerabilities
Pros & Cons
Advantages
- Fast initial setup compared to traffic-based monitoring approaches
- No need to monitor live traffic, reducing infrastructure overhead
- Catches issues during development rather than in production
- Generates useful API documentation as a byproduct
Limitations
- Effectiveness depends on the tool's ability to understand your specific API behaviours and business logic
- May require integration effort to connect with your existing CI/CD pipeline
- Freemium model may have limitations on the number of APIs or scans included
Use Cases
Security teams scanning internal APIs before they reach production
Development teams integrating security checks into their build process
Organisations preparing for compliance audits by documenting and securing APIs
Teams identifying forgotten or undocumented APIs in their systems
Engineering leads needing quick security posture reports on API portfolios
