Serverless architectures take away business responsibility for server management, but security should still be top of mind.
Application security is getting a twist with the rise of serverless architectures, which introduce a new way of developing and managing applications – and a new wave of related security risks.
Serverless architectures, also known as Function as a Service (FaaS), let businesses build and deploy software without maintaining physical or virtual servers. That’s the job of providers like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and IBM, which run popular serverless architectures AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, and IBM BlueMix Cloud Functions, respectively.
