Serverless Security

Serverless architectures remove server management but introduce new security considerations.

Security Concerns

• Function-level access control
• Event injection via triggers
• Dependency vulnerabilities in function packages
• Inadequate logging and monitoring
• Cold start implications for security checks

Best Practices

• Validate all event input
• Use least-privilege execution roles
• Keep function dependencies minimal and updated
• Implement function-level authentication
• Monitor function execution and anomalies
