As serverless architectures continue to gain popularity for their scalability and cost-effectiveness, understanding the unique security challenges they present is crucial.

In this talk, titled "Serverless Under Siege: Hacking AWS Lambda Functions and Beyond," we'll shine a light on the vulnerabilities present in AWS Lambda functions. From injection attacks to misconfigured permissions, we'll dissect the various entry points that hackers exploit to gain unauthorized access or disrupt the system. We'll explore AWS serverless environments and identify common vulnerabilities that threaten the integrity and confidentiality of your applications.

We'll look at how services like AWS Lambda, API Gateway, and AWS Cognito can be used to create and exploit these vulnerabilities. But it's not all about threats—this talk will also provide you with practical strategies and best practices for securing your serverless applications against potential attacks.
