Every unscanned API is a potential risk

Modern web estates rely on APIs just as much as front-end code. But API vulnerabilities often hide behind complex authentication, making them easy to miss. Without dedicated API scanning, you risk leaving critical gaps exposed to attackers.

"APIs are the biggest gap in our testing at the moment. We're trying to step up our game in terms of proactive discovery of API-level vulnerabilities."

Head of Application Security, Global Software Company.

Meet Burp Suite DAST

Purpose-built DAST for modern API scanning

Burp Suite DAST offers native support for scanning REST and SOAP APIs based on an OpenAPI definition, WSDL, or Postman Collection - with powerful authentication handling, dynamic scanning, and flexible CI/CD integrations.

Built for Enterprise-Grade Scanning

Scale API scanning without scaling your team

Burp Suite DAST simplifies API scanning at enterprise scale. Scan more APIs, find more vulnerabilities, and consume actionable results wherever your teams need them - through our built-in dashboard, SIEM integrations, or your existing vulnerability management platform thanks to our powerful GraphQL API.

Your API scanning questions, answered

What types of APIs can Burp Suite DAST scan?

We support scanning of REST APIs and SOAP APIs either in isolation or as part of a broader web app scan. You just need to provide an OpenAPI spec, WSDL, or Postman Collection.

How does Burp Suite DAST handle authentication for APIs?

Burp Suite DAST robustly supports a variety of common authentication types, including HTTP Basic and Bearer auth, as well as custom API keys provided in the query string, headers, or cookies. You can either provide static tokens or configure API scans to dynamically refresh the token when required.

Can API scan results be integrated into our workflows?

Yes. In addition to consuming scan results via the same dashboard as your web app scans, your devs can consume the results of CI-driven scans directly in the pipeline. We also provide native integrations for a range of ticketing platforms, including Jira, Trello, and GitLab, and SIEM platforms like Splunk. Alternatively, you can use our powerful GraphQL API to integrate with any systems you currently use, surfacing results exactly where your teams work.

How do we scale API scanning across multiple teams and apps?

Easily. Burp Suite DAST has no seat-based pricing, no per-app fees, and is built for frictionless scalability across your entire portfolio. We also support advanced role-based access control (RBAC) and MFA, so you can easily maintain granular control over permissions at scale.
