In AWS, the Lambda function represents a new approach to crafting and deploying compute workflows. While they free us from the burdens of patching VMs, lurking in the dark are countless ways deployment and operations can go horribly wrong.

This talk will dive deep into the sinister ways attackers can exploit Lambda functions, turning them into gateways for intrusion and chaos. We will expose common misconfigurations, unmask why they haunt our environments, and reveal how to audit for lurking dangers in your Lambda deployments. Finally, we will explore the eerie telemetry trails that can uncover these threats.
