Prerequisite knowledge

  • Familiarity with serverless or FaaS

What you'll learn

  • Learn why you need to keep your functions secure and how to do it yourself

Description

Serverless rocks the security boat. The fact we don’t need to manage servers or capacity rids us of certain security concerns, while the sheer number of functions and the security management they need raises others.

Guy Podjarny demonstrates these security concerns live, as he breaks into a vulnerable serverless application and exploits multiple weaknesses, helping you better understand the mistakes you can make, their implications, and how you can avoid them.
