Episode 66 — Serverless Apps: Event Injection and Least Privilege Design
Serverless applications offer scalability and efficiency but bring unique risks. In this episode, we explore how event-driven models introduce vulnerabilities such as event injection, where malformed inputs can manipulate logic or trigger unintended behavior. We also highlight the critical role of least privilege in securing serverless functions, ensuring that each component can only perform the minimal actions necessary.
The CCSP exam may ask you to evaluate serverless security by spotting excessive permissions, missing input validation, or reliance on unmanaged secrets. Understanding these risks prepares you to design and deploy serverless applications that are secure, scalable, and resilient. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
