Serverless Security

Serverless security solutions provide specialized protection for function-as-a-service (FaaS) and serverless architectures through code analysis, runtime protection, and API security tailored to the unique characteristics of event-driven, ephemeral compute environments. These platforms address serverless-specific security challenges including function permissions, dependency vulnerabilities, and event source security while maintaining the operational benefits of serverless computing.

Serverless security platforms integrate with cloud provider serverless services, development frameworks, and CI/CD pipelines to provide static analysis, dependency scanning, runtime monitoring, and API protection specifically designed for serverless functions. The solutions typically include function-level policy enforcement, event source validation, secrets management, and integration with cloud-native security services to provide comprehensive protection without impacting function performance or cold start times.

Organizations adopt serverless security solutions to secure function-based applications, maintain compliance in serverless environments, and enable secure serverless development practices. The specialized approach addresses the unique attack vectors and operational characteristics of serverless computing while providing the visibility and control necessary to manage security across event-driven architectures and distributed serverless applications.
