Burp Suite DAST vs ZeroThreat

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.

ZeroThreat is an AI-powered penetration-testing platform for web applications and APIs, accessible through web and API. It continuously discovers, exploits, and validates vulnerabilities, with findings backed by reproducible request-and-response evidence and exact payloads. Web testing supports authenticated workflows, including SSO, MFA, and role-based access, as well as rendering for React, Vue, and Angular single-page apps. API testing covers REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC, including internal APIs, shadow endpoints, BOLA, and BFLA. ZeroThreat says it detects more than 130,000 vulnerabilities, spanning OWASP, CWE/SANS, Nuclei, and monthly updated CVE intelligence. Integrations include CI/CD, project-management, and messaging tools, connected through native connectors, APIs, or webhooks. On-premises deployment is listed as air-gap ready. The free plan provides five sign-up scan credits valid for 15 days, then one scan credit per month for one target. Professional costs $100 a month; Pay Per Scan costs $125, paid once.
