PureSec Serverless Security Platform

serverless app security challenges

Developing robust serverless applications and making sure that application code doesn't introduce vulnerabilities is your responsibility. However, when you adopt serverless platforms like AWS Lambda, you must be aware of the following application security challenges:

No Infrastructure
When you deploy serverless functions, you are giving away the responsibility and control over the runtime environment to the cloud provider. On one hand, this removes the need to patch and secure the underlying infrastructure, but on the other hand, you cannot deploy traditional security layers such as EPP, IPS/IDS, WAF or RASP, which are critical for protecting your application's code

Cloud-Native Events
Serverless functions are triggered by a wide range of cloud-native event types. Each event type has its own message format and it's own encoding schemes. Traditional application security solutions are incapable of inspecting cloud-native event triggers for two main reasons:

They cannot be deployed in-line between the service that generates the event and your functions
They are incapable of parsing, analyzing and understanding cloud-native events

Visibility to Attacks
Both traditional and cloud-native logging solutions have severe visibility gaps when it comes to the serverless application layer security. Successful protection against application layer attacks always starts with visibility - if you don't know you are being targeted, how will you be able to defend your functions?

Puresec Serverless Security Platform

PureSec's SSP is designed exclusively for serverless applications, and provides an end-to-end application security solution for serverless, which is tightly integrated into the CI/CD process.

The PureSec serverless security platform provides protection for applications using AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions and IBM Cloud Functions so you can ensure that your functions are free from risk and safe from threats at every stage of the application lifecycle.

Secure Serverless CI/CD

PureSec SSP seamlessly integrates into your CI/CD process. During development and build time, serverless projects are statically scanned to pinpoint risks related to over-permissive IAM roles, insecure storage of application secrets, and known vulnerable 3rd. party dependencies. With PureSec SSP integrated into your CI/CD, you are guaranteed to ship robust serverless code at all times.

Serverless Runtime Protection

PureSec SSP provides automatic defense against application-layer attacks such as SQL injections, remote code execution, attempts to subvert function logic and unauthorized malicious actions. Protection is initiated when the function is invoked, where the serverless application firewall employs rigorous security algorithms to detect event-data injection attacks. Once event data is found to be legitimate, the functions is allowed to run, and a machine-learning based behavioral protection engine closely monitors function execution to detect unauthorized interactions and operation.

Unparalleled Security Visibility

PureSec SSP integrates deep into your functions, providing unparalleled visibility into application layer attacks. See what your functions are doing in a way you've never seen before. For each security event, PureSec customers receive access to forensic data, allowing them to perform deep investigations into security incidents, in real time. PureSec SSP provides simple integrations with existing SIEM solutions, so your DevSecOps teams can receive event information and notifications in the tools of their choice.
