Appsec California 2017: Serverless! The Holy Grail of Security Operations (!)

Hi, wanted to share the presentation I gave with David Cuadrado.


Abstract:

Let's face it, security operations is time consuming, more often than not new paradigms surface that requires investing time addressing it's risks, like Cloud and Containers, the new paradigm that's coming is serverless, which brings some interesting features and limitations.

A paradigm where every request is served by ephemeral "servers", each running its own code, isolated from each other. In this talk will address this questions:

What are the Security benefits? Does traditional security apply to them? Who keeps them patched? Are they really ephemeral? What about compliance? Are current solutions mature enough? Do vulnerabilities like Dirty Cow affect them? Will DevOps/Architects receive it open arms? How does developing and deploying work? Does it "fix" DevOps engineers accessing production?

You will get to see real examples and specially what uses cases is best to first implement serverless.
