What is Cloud / SaaS?

The vendor hosts and operates the tool; your code is analysed on their infrastructure.

SaaS is the default for good reason: nothing to run, updates arrive continuously, and you are not staffing the operation of a scanner. For most teams it is the right answer.

It requires sending source code to a third party, which is the whole conversation in regulated environments. Where it survives review, it is usually because of data-residency guarantees and a training-exclusion commitment rather than the security posture alone.
