About the AWS Lambda Security Series
Where this lab fits in our serverless security series
Live Lab Demonstration
Step-by-step walkthrough of enumeration techniques in real AWS environments
Next Steps
Resources to keep learning
Conclusion
Let's wrap up!
Lambda Attack Paths
Discovery Phase
Attackers enumerate Lambda functions to identify potential entry points and understand your serverless architecture
Permission Analysis
Examining IAM roles and execution contexts reveals privilege escalation paths
Function Exploitation
Vulnerable code, improper permissions, and function misconfigurations can lead to exploitation
The AWS Lambda Security Series
We've designed this series to help security teams understand attack vectors against AWS Lambda functions to develop effective defense strategies.
We recommend going through these in the order shown from left to right
The AWS Lambda Security Series - Continued
More advanced labs building on the prior ones and involving various attack techniques:

AWS Lambda Security Labs - Cybr

Learn first-hand how attackers exploit AWS Lambda functions with real-world attack vectors and techniques. This course is entirely made up of 🧪 Hands-On Labs featuring vulnerable Lambda environments that will teach you how to identify and exploit serverless security weaknesses. Each lab deploys real AWS environments where you'll practice Lambda enumeration, exploitation, and privilege escalation techniques. The labs include CTF-style challenges that will test your skills by providing realistic
