Catch vulnerabilities with a truly enterprise DAST scanner
Burp Suite DAST makes dynamic application security testing (DAST) easy and gives you the confidence of accurate results.With the industry-leading Burp Scanner, your AppSec team won’t be questioning the results. Just fast, accurate DAST scanning without the noise.
Struggling with false positives in automated DAST
scanning?
Modern web estates are vast and constantly changing.
Manual testing alone can't keep up and subpar DAST
scanners often miss vulnerabilities or flood teams with
false positives. Meanwhile, developers need fast feedback
and security teams need clear, trustworthy insights.
Staying secure shouldn't feel like a losing battle.

DAST frequently asked questions
What is Burp Suite DAST?
Burp Suite DAST (Dynamic Application Security Testing)
is an enterprise-grade web vulnerability scanner that
identifies security issues in live web applications and
APIs - without needing access to source code.
Can Burp Suite DAST scan APIs as well as web
apps?
Yes. Burp Suite DAST natively supports API scanning,
including REST and SOAP, alongside web app scanning,
ensuring full coverage of your modern web estate.
Does Burp Suite DAST support authenticated
scanning?
Absolutely. Burp Suite DAST is an authenticated DAST
scanner, including multi-step login processes, SSO via
recorded login sequences - ensuring full coverage of
your most sensitive attack surface.
What is dynamic application security testing in
DevSecOps?
Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) in DevSecOps
refers to the practice of running automated security
scans against live, running applications as part of the
continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD)
pipeline.
Unlike static tools that analyze code, DAST scans simulate real-world attacks on deployed applications - without needing source code access. In DevSecOps, DAST enables security teams and developers to catch and fix vulnerabilities earlier, accelerating secure releases.
Burp Suite DAST integrates seamlessly into DevSecOps workflows, providing accurate, automated DAST scanning at every stage of your CI/CD pipeline - without slowing you down.

DAST scanning for APIs vs web applications
DAST scanning for web applications focuses on crawling
dynamic pages, detecting vulnerabilities like XSS, SQLi,
and CSRF in user-facing functionality.
In contrast, DAST for APIs targets backend interfaces like REST, SOAP, and OpenAPI — where logic flaws and authentication gaps can pose major risks. API scanning requires specialized handling of endpoints, schemas, and authorization methods.
Burp Suite DAST covers both — delivering enterprise-grade DAST scanning for modern SPAs and APIs in one platform. It supports complex API authentication, auto-detects definitions, and tests both static and dynamic behaviors without extra tools.
