Produktbeschreibung

Apply the basics of security in serverless computing to new or existing projects. This hands-on guide provides practical examples and fundamentals. You will apply these fundamentals in all aspects of serverless computing: improving the code, securing the application, and protecting the infrastructure. You will come away having security knowledge that enables you to secure a project you are supporting and have technical conversations with cybersecurity personnel.

At a time when there are many news stories on cybersecurity breaches, it is crucial to think about security in your applications. It is tempting to believe that having a third-party host the entire computing platform will increase security. This book shows you why cybersecurity is the responsibility of everyone working on the project.

What You Will Learn

• Gain a deeper understanding of cybersecurity in serverless computing
• Know how to use free and open source tools (such as the Node Package Manager, ESLint, and VSCode) to reduce vulnerabilities in your application code
• Assess potential threats from event triggers in your serverless functions
• Understand security best practices in serverless computing
• Develop an agnostic security architecture while reducing risk from vendor-specific infrastructure

Who This Book Is For
