Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points.
\n Escape,
\nan offensive security engineering platform, has raised $18 million in a Series A funding round to develop AI agents designed to automate the security lifecycle. The
\nround was led by Balderton, with participation from Uncorrelated Ventures and
\nexisting investors IRIS and Y Combinator.
\nAdvances
\nin AI have shortened the time between code deployment and the exploitation of software vulnerabilities. While recent industry efforts have focused on securing code
\nwithin developers\u2019 environments, many security risks arise in live systems
\nwhere configurations, integrations, authentication flows, and business logic
\noperate in production.
\nEscape
\nwas founded by Tristan Kalos\u00a0(CEO) and Antoine Carossio\u00a0(CTO) to address
\nlimitations in traditional application security models. The company aims to replace legacy
\nscanners and manual offensive security processes with AI agents designed to
\nautomate security testing and remediation across the development lifecycle.
\nThe
\nplatform focuses on what it describes as offensive security engineering, an approach that uses AI agents to identify, test, and remediate
\nvulnerabilities directly within engineering workflows. Escape\u2019s agents automate
\ntasks such as attack surface discovery, continuous security testing, and
\nremediation support, helping teams move more quickly from vulnerability
\ndetection to resolution while reducing operational overhead.
\nSecurity
\nteams are outnumbered and managing siloed, manual processes. In a world where
\ncode is written and attacked at the speed of AI, this approach is no longer
\nsustainable. We are building Escape as an offensive security engineering
\nplatform designed to address this challenge at scale.
\n said Tristan Kalos, CEO
\nand co-founder of Escape.
\nEscape\u2019s
\nAI agents are designed to operate in live environments, simulating attacker
\nbehaviour to identify potential logic flaws and data exposure risks and support
\nremediation before they can be exploited.
\nIn a
\nrecent analysis, Escape reported identifying more than 2,000 high-impact
\nvulnerabilities across 5,600 publicly available applications generated using automated coding tools. These included 175 cases involving exposure of personal
\ndata, with some instances revealing multiple sensitive credentials. According
\nto the company, all of the identified vulnerabilities were present in live
\nproduction systems and could be discovered within a short timeframe.
\nThe new funding will support further development of the platform\u2019s
\nAI agent capabilities, including tools designed to analyse application logic
\nduring penetration testing, as well as the expansion of engineering and go-to-market teams as Escape targets enterprise customers in the US
\nand Europe.<\/p>\n
