SS-2048 FaaS track to serverless security

Presented at Texas Cyber Summit 2019, Oct. 12, 2019, 1 p.m. (60 minutes)

Security in FaaS isn’t what you’re used to with actual real servers. With enterprises quickly moving to the cloud and to serverless, there’s a need to address the topic of security. Karthik Gaekwad shares what he’s learned in the application security sphere that still applies in the modern world of FaaS. Using lambhack, a sample vulnerable serverless application written in Go, Karthik explains how to think about security in the serverless world and details security strategies and pitfalls viewed through a serverless lens. You’ll leave with a solid understanding of how to approach security conversations about serverless applications in the enterprise.
