Training Course on Community Engagement and Partnerships for School Success

Introduction

In today’s era of rapid cloud adoption, serverless computing has emerged as a transformative technology offering scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency. However, this shift to serverless architectures presents unique challenges for digital forensics, incident response (DFIR), and cybersecurity investigations. Training Course on Serverless Forensics and Investigation in the Cloud Serverless Forensics and Investigation in the Cloud equips cybersecurity professionals, digital forensics experts, and cloud architects with the essential skills to investigate cloud-native, serverless environments such as AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. Participants will gain expertise in detecting threats, analyzing logs, tracing attacks, and preserving evidence in these dynamic, ephemeral compute models.

With the proliferation of cloud-native breaches, supply chain attacks, and API vulnerabilities, it is critical to adopt forensic methodologies tailored for the serverless ecosystem. This comprehensive training focuses on advanced forensic analysis, incident containment, cloud compliance, threat intelligence, and automated investigation techniques in serverless contexts. Participants will learn through real-world case studies, practical labs, and simulation exercises to ensure actionable competencies in protecting and investigating multi-cloud serverless deployments against sophisticated attacks.
