Cloud & DevSecOps Security

    AI-NATIVE SERVERLESS SECURITY

    Serverless architecture has no perimeter. Faltrox Security uses AI to trace event-driven attack paths across AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Run. We identify over-privileged roles, event injection vulnerabilities, and 'Denial of Wallet' risks that static scanners miss.

    Overview

    Ephemeral Threats

    Serverless functions live for milliseconds, but the data they leak lasts forever. Attackers abuse the ephemeral nature of FaaS to bypass traditional monitoring.

    In a serverless world, the Code is the Infrastructure. Our AI engines analyze the complex web of triggers (S3, SQS, API Gateway) to find hidden Event Injection flaws that allow attackers to hijack your business logic.

    We specialize in preventing Denial of Wallet attacks, where bots exhaust your cloud budget, and ensuring your functions execute with true Least Privilege.

    Landscape

    Attack Surface

    We secure the entire serverless ecosystem, from trigger to database.

    01

    Function Logic

    Exploiting flaws in the business logic of your Lambda/Azure Functions to manipulate data state.

    02

    API Gateways

    Bypassing authorizers, rate limits, and WAF rules protecting your serverless endpoints.

    03

    Event Sources

    Injecting malicious data into queues (SQS, Kafka) that triggers downstream execution flaws.

    04

    Identity (IAM)

    Abusing over-permissive Execution Roles to pivot from one function to the entire cloud account.

    05

    Dependencies

    Identifying vulnerable libraries (Layer Poisoning) bundled with your function code.

    06

    Secrets

    Extracting hardcoded API keys and credentials from environment variables.

    Process

    Faltrox Method

    Code-Centric Security. We map, scan, and break.

    1. 01

      MAP

      Visualizing the hidden web of triggers, functions, and resources using CloudFormation/Terraform parsing.

    2. 02

      STATIC

      Scanning function code (Node, Python, Go) for hardcoded secrets and known vulns using Checkov and Trivy.

    3. 03

      DYNAMIC

      Fuzzing event triggers (S3, API Gateway, SQS) to identify injection flaws and error handling gaps.

    4. 04

      VERIFY

      Checking that IAM roles adhere to Least Privilege (PoLP) using PMapper and IAM Access Analyzer.

    5. 05

      PAYLOAD

      Crafting custom event payloads to demonstrate data exfiltration or privilege escalation.

    6. 06

      REPORT

      Delivering fixed code snippets and updated IAM policies ready for deployment.

    Scope

    OWASP Serverless

    Addressing the top security risks in serverless architectures.

    01critical

    Event Injection

    Similar to SQLi, but injecting triggers into S3/DynamoDB events to manipulate flow.

    02critical

    Broken Auth

    Functions accessible without proper IAM or JWT validation.

    03medium

    Insecure Monitoring

    Failing to log failed invocations or error stack traces.

    04high

    Resource Exhaustion

    Spiking execution time to max out cloud budget (Denial of Wallet).

    Outcomes

    Key benefits

    Scale without fear.

    Reduced Attack Surface

    By securing each function individually, you limit the blast radius of any single breach. Least-privilege defaults plus event-source hardening keep one bad function from cascading across your account.

    Cost Protection

    Prevent 'Denial of Wallet' attacks that could drain your cloud budget in minutes.

    Compliance Ready

    Ensure your serverless architecture meets SOC 2 and HIPAA requirements.

    Secure Scalability

    Deploy thousands of functions knowing that your security posture scales with them.

    Data Integrity

    Validate that event data cannot be tampered with as it flows through your system.

    Zero Trust

    Enforce strict authentication and authorization for every single function invocation.

    Who we serve

    FAQ

    Common questions

    01How is Serverless security different?

    You don't own the OS, so traditional antivirus doesn't work. Security moves to the code (Function logic), the configuration (IAM Roles), and the triggers (API Gateway).

    02Do you inspect the code?

    Yes. We perform Static Analysis (SAST) on your Lambda/Azure Functions to find injection flaws and hardcoded secrets before deployment.

    03Can you test for 'Billing Attacks'?

    Yes. We simulate 'Denial of Wallet' attacks where we trigger your functions repeatedly to exhaust your concurrency limits and spike your cloud bill.

    04What about Event Injection?

    We fuzz the event payloads (S3 events, DynamoDB streams) to see if we can manipulate the function's logic or access backend resources.
