Multiple parallel scans
Summary: PortSwigger is replacing Burp Suite's Spider and Scanner singleton tools, which each use a single queue of work, with individual scans that each have their own configuration, scope, and pending work. The change lets users create as many parallel scans as they like, pause and resume them individually, and set priorities for resource use, with more related features to be described over the following days.
What you should know: Today a single queue means one scan's configuration and scope govern everything, so testing different areas at different priorities forces teams to serialize the work; parallel scans with independent control change how much scanning capacity a team can actually run at once.
