A serverless approach to application design enables organizations to avoid the most common security vulnerabilities without slowing down the release cycle. But for many, it also introduces questions about how serverless security works and how it applies to the unique security requirements of your business.

In this chat, AWS Senior Principal Engineers Becky Weiss and Marc Brooker discuss how security strategies have changed to support modern application and how serverless security is applied under the hood. They'll cover the most common areas of vulnerability including misapplied patches and updates, malicious code and runtime security, overly permissive access, and network segmentation, and share the ways that serverless technologies address these areas. Expect to leave with a solid understanding of how a serverless security strategy functions technically and how it can be operationalized in your business.

In this episode, we'll talk about:

  • How security is applied and managed in serverless applications under-the-hood
  • Best practices for protecting your functions from malicious event data
  • How identity and access management is applied in a serverless operational model

Who should attend?

Security and Operations leaders, CTOs CIOs, Engineering and IT leaders, and anyone interested in understanding how security is applied and managed in serverless applications
