Serverless Security implications—from infra to OWASP

Serverless fundamentally addresses some of today's biggest security concerns by shifting the responsibility from application owners to platform providers, thereby eliminating infrastructure management-related vulnerabilities such as unpatched servers and vulnerable binaries. However, it also amplifies other security concerns, including the increased attack surface created by greater flexibility, making security monitoring more challenging due to the lack of traditional server-based monitoring solutions. Additionally, Serverless does not alleviate the need for secure coding practices, vulnerability management, and data protection, which are still critical in FaaS environments. Overall, Serverless introduces a new set of security challenges that require developers and platform providers to adapt their priorities and strategies accordingly.
