Escape + Wiz: Unified Security for Modern, Cloud-Native Applications

Security can’t work in silos. Now more than ever, companies must embrace a holistic approach to security that spans all aspects of modern technology stacks. As cloud adoption accelerates and application environments grow more complex, understanding what’s exposed—and mitigating risks—across the full spectrum, from code to the cloud, has become essential.

Vendors, too, have a responsibility to deliver integrated solutions that bring joint value to both security and development teams.

That is why we’re excited to announce our partnership between Escape, an Application Discovery & DAST platform, and Wiz, a leader in cloud security.  

Escape and Wiz bring together two unique strengths: Wiz excels at identifying cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, while Escape focuses on the application layer to uncover risks such as API exposures, sensitive data leaks, and business logic flaws with its DAST. Together, Escape and Wiz help customers understand the full context, assign clear ownership, and empower security and development teams to work smarter, faster, and more confidently to integrate security into applications early in the development lifecycle.

Better Together

To ensure continuous security improvement, engineering and security teams must collaborate seamlessly to build secure applications deployed in the cloud. As modern applications evolve, the boundaries between application code and cloud infrastructure grow increasingly blurred, requiring an integrated approach to protect them effectively.

Escape brings deep application-layer expertise, using proprietary business logic-level DAST algorithms to secure modern architectures such as APIs, microservices, and SPAs from the development phase onward. Wiz, on the other hand, has redefined cloud security with its comprehensive code-to-cloud vision, encompassing Wiz Code, Wiz Cloud, and Wiz Defend. Together, these two platforms create a powerful partnership.

By bringing together Escape and Wiz, we aim to provide customers with a richer, more actionable perspective on their attack surface. Instead of just knowing what is exposed to the Internet, customers can now understand what happens at the application layer, deeper than the network layer, learn about data overexposure, and streamline prioritization and remediation.

How It Works

Here is how the joint enrichment works:

1. Wiz's Dynamic Scanner finds exposed cloud resources and hands them over to Escape.
2. Escape Inventory then identifies, fingerprints, and classifies these resources as specific application assets—such as APIs, Single-Page Applications (SPAs), and more.

3. With this enriched information, Escape DAST runs at scale on the identified applications, including APIs, without needing any network interception or agent installation. If you're a joint Wiz and Escape customer, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to set up Wiz integration in Escape's official documentation
4. All the vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, findings, and remediations are fed back into the Wiz using DAST & ASM Vulnerability Findings enrichment and Escape's workflows, merging both infrastructure and application-level insights into a single, unified view:

Integration Benefits

For many large organizations, the hard part isn’t just running a scan; it’s figuring out who actually owns each piece of exposed infrastructure or application. With hundreds (if not thousands) of APIs, SPAs, microservices, and backend systems floating around, the process of identifying vulnerabilities at the business logic level and mapping resources to the right teams and stakeholders can drag on for months—or even years. Traditional tools can flag a vulnerabilities, but if no one knows who’s responsible, you’re stuck in endless spreadsheets and stakeholder chasing.

This is where the Escape + Wiz integration comes in. Security teams already using Wiz have invested significant effort in mapping their cloud resources to owners. Now, when Escape discovers new APIs or SPAs, we instantly correlate those findings with the existing ownership data in Wiz. That means every newly exposed endpoint, secret, or vulnerability (CWE) identified by Escape DAST automatically inherits the same ownership mapping Wiz already has on file.

What are the concrete benefits?

• Practical Code-to-Cloud Security: Large organizations often struggle to bridge application-level exposures with cloud infrastructure insights. Now, they can correlate both from Escape & Wiz, track them back to the same responsible teams, and reduce friction between dev, ops, and security.  
• Immediate Assignment: If Escape finds a user associated with the Wiz application, the moment Escape's DAST finds a security issue that's also a Wiz issue, you know exactly which team needs to address it. No more guesswork, no more rummaging through outdated confluence pages or domain registries.   
• Reduced Operational Overhead: Security Engineers spend less time “hunting” for who owns what and how to prioritize your API and Web App risks. Instead, they can devote their energy to actually securing the organization.  
• Acceleration of Remediation: When ownership data is at your fingertips, the gap between detection and remediation shrinks from weeks or months to days or even hours. This empowers you to confidently integrate security into applications early in the development lifecycle.  
• One Unified View: All vulnerabilities and CWEs—from exposed S3 buckets to API logic flaws—flow into a single Wiz interface. This “single pane of glass” eliminates information silos and drastically reduces the likelihood of serious issues slipping through the cracks.

Conclusion

In short, this partnership addresses one of the biggest pain points in enterprise security. Instead of spending countless hours figuring out who owns what, how to address complex business-critical vulnerabilities, and how to prioritize your APIs, SPAs, and microservices risks in your specific context, Escape and Wiz transform it into an automated, real-time process. Security and development teams can now focus on what truly matters: closing the gaps before attackers exploit them.
