Researching Serverless Security Solutions

Research Projects

Exploring security in serverless architectures against state-based attacks.

A black door with a red and white 'FACP' sign is set into a brick wall. The wall features a combination of brown and red bricks with contrasting white mortar. Above the door are two security cameras, and near the door handle, there is a small caution sign.
