Electronically Secure Collaborative Application Platform for Experts (ESCAPE) is a tool that allows cybersecurity experts across different countries to pool their resources, share their expertise, and remotely collaborate in a secure and trusted environment. It enables the GRC to act as a one-stop coordination and response centre for countries in times of crisis, enabling the swift identification and sharing of available resources.
ESCAPE greatly increases the speed with which IMPACT is able to respond to threats, allowing it to draw from a great pool of talent from across numerous locations. One of the key features of ESCAPE is that it is based on a comprehensive and growing database of key resources around the world. This includes IT experts, empowered personnel such as government regulatory officials, and other trusted parties - CIRTs, for example - that can be called upon in times of need. It provides all the tools needed to ensure that these individuals and institutions are able to collaborate remotely, securely, and effectively.
