Hosting options - Burp Suite DAST - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's hosting options for Burp Suite DAST describe a distributed system built from a centralized server plus dedicated scanning machines, deployable in several ways. The options include PortSwigger's private cloud hosting, a cloud-hosted setup with an agent inside the private network to scan internal applications, a self-managed deployment, and a Kubernetes-based deployment.
What's compelling: Cloud-hosted scanning normally requires the target application to be reachable online, which leaves internal applications and services - described here as potential weak points - out of the scan unless you place an agent inside your network.
