About

Rob Pope

Escaped is a penetration testing practice run by Rob Pope in San Diego, working with startups and growing companies across the US.

Rob is an ethical hacker and a four-time founder. He has spent 27 years testing systems for banks, hospitals, retailers, telecoms companies and UK central and local government, from two-person startups to multinationals, and started two security firms before Escaped.

Escaped exists because companies without a security team are badly served by the security industry. Big firms won’t take a two-day job, and cheap scanners produce reports nobody can act on. Most companies under 500 people still need a real test, often because a customer has just asked for one.

When you work with Escaped, you work with Rob. He scopes the job with you, does the testing, writes the report and walks your team through it. If you’re not a security person, that’s fine. Explaining it clearly is part of the job.
