Serverless security is an emerging concern within serverless computing. Serverless computing and frameworks make it easy to create serverless applications. The ease and speed of deployment could make a serverless application prone to cybersecurity risks. We should therefore pay attention to cybersecurity to avoid a data breach, an account takeover, data loss, or more.

Learn how to start securing your serverless application in this mini-course.

BONUS: Each lesson has audio narration.
