While Serverless code contains a mixture of cloud configurations and application programming interfaces (API) calls, legacy security solutions lack the context that is necessary in a serverless environment, and the consequence is a lack of observability and slower response times. This means that the security teams struggle to keep up with the speed of development and the security is left behind. Attackers, on the other-hand, take advantage of these uncharted waters to exploit serverless environments in the wild. In most cases we don’t even hear about it because no one knows before something really bad happens.

In this talk, we will discuss common risks and challenges in serverless environments as well as new attack vectors and common techniques attackers use to exploit Serverless applications. These include uncommon Cloud APIs, such as Emails, Storage and even Voice-to-Text, that if not protected correctly could lead into a cloud disaster.
