Burp Suite DAST vs Pentesterra

Burp Suite DAST is an automated dynamic scanner for web vulnerabilities, built on the scanning engine used in Burp Suite Professional. Its Chromium-based crawler can handle JavaScript single-page applications, dynamic forms, GraphQL endpoints, and asynchronous loads, while crawling and auditing can run in parallel. Session-aware scans maintain authenticated state using username-password pairs or recorded login sequences. The scanner covers APIs described by Postman Collections, OpenAPI, SOAP, and GraphQL, with native support for several authentication methods. Teams can schedule portfolio scans from a dashboard or run them in CI pipelines, including on pull requests and merges. Deployment options include managed cloud and self-hosted software for Windows and Linux, plus Helm deployment for Kubernetes; self-hosted deployments can operate in air-gapped environments. Access controls include role-based permissions, site groups, audit trails, SAML single sign-on, and group-locked scan policies. Findings include captured requests and confirming responses. Pricing depends on the portfolio and requires contacting PortSwigger; a guided proof-of-concept trial follows a tailored demo and discovery call.

Pentesterra is a security orchestration platform combining vulnerability management, automated network and web pentesting, breach and attack simulation, and AI-assisted exploit verification. Its workflow links attack-surface mapping, simulation, and controlled exploitation, prioritizing findings with evidence. Web testing covers modern web apps, single-page applications, and APIs through public or private proxies and Tor, including authentication flows, CSRF, JWT, and WAF evasion. Safe exploit validation uses real-world tools in non-malicious modes and is described as involving no malware or ransomware. Attack Chain Analysis turns web, network, and DevGuard findings into directed kill-chain graphs, with up to 20 paths at depth five or less. Deployment is available as SaaS, dedicated PaaS, or fully air-gapped on-premises. Integrations include Jira ticket creation from verified findings and a REST API for scans, results, and reporting. Enterprise options add SIEM export, ticketing integrations, SSO, and compliance evidence packages. Plans range from a free DevGuard Free tier to Vibe Coding at €23/month; higher tiers list specific scan and project limits, while Enterprise pricing is custom.
