Running scans as part of your manual testing workflow - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Scanner, built into Burp Suite Professional, automatically maps the attack surface and identifies vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs, and parses any API definitions it finds during a web application scan before auditing the discovered endpoints. The tool also offers an AI-powered Explore Issue feature that automates follow-up testing on identified vulnerabilities to uncover additional attack vectors and generate proof-of-concept exploits automatically.
Bottom line: Automated proof-of-concept generation on discovered vulnerabilities shifts the burden from finding flaws to triaging them - a security leader's team now has to keep pace with exploits the scanner writes on its own.
