Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
Microsoft has announced the general availability of serverless protection within Defender for Cloud, extending its Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) capabilities to Azure Functions and AWS Lambda. This new feature addresses the security visibility gap in serverless computing by automatically discovering, assessing, and remediating risks across ephemeral, event-driven workloads. It helps organizations detect misconfigurations, exposed dependencies, and complex attack paths that traditional security tools often miss in serverless environments.
