Abstract
Implementing serverless applications has become very popular in many industries due its features like cost efficiency, scalability, improved reliability and many more. However, these serverless application has specific security challenges and drawbacks like limited control over the infrastructure, increased attack surface, cold start vulnerabilities, insufficient logging and monitoring and a lot more. This study highlights the importance of adopting a more comprehensive security strategy similar to eBPF, which is a system level strategic approach which is a agentless technology that can be used to improve security monitoring. So this approach provides a in-depth monitoring of the application security like static code analysis, CPU and memory usage, each function execution time, function call counts, etc. The method is implemented in a such way that it all the security aspects like environment variable access, file read and write operation, hashing, network are taken into consideration which are high level security risk in any applications. This research paper encourages cloud providers like Amazon AWS to implement high security tool like eBPF in their serverless application to enhance their security monitoring.
