Episode 45 — Serverless Platforms: Event Models and Security Controls

Serverless computing abstracts away servers, but it does not remove security responsibilities. In this episode, we explain how serverless platforms work through event-driven models and highlight the unique risks they present, including event injection, dependency vulnerabilities, and monitoring gaps. Security for serverless is about rethinking controls—focusing on permissions, code integrity, and event validation rather than patching infrastructure.

We also discuss how serverless reshapes accountability within the shared responsibility model, where providers secure the platform but customers must secure their functions and inputs. The CCSP exam tests whether you can recognize these distinctions and apply the right safeguards. By mastering serverless security, you’ll be equipped to handle questions that represent the leading edge of cloud adoption. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
