JavaScript Security: Serverless and Developer Workstation Protection

As development shifts toward cloud-native architectures and supply chain attacks become more frequent, securing your serverless functions and your own workstation is no longer optional. This course provides a clear path to understanding the security landscape of serverless JavaScript and the essential practices for keeping your development machine safe from external threats. You will gain the skills necessary to build resilient cloud applications while maintaining a hardened local environment. What you'll learn: - Understand the unique security challenges of serverless JavaScript architectures and event-driven functions. - Configure secure environment variables and manage secrets without exposing sensitive data in your code. - Apply the principle of least privilege to cloud-based JavaScript execution environments. - Practice securing your local development machine against common supply chain vulnerabilities. - Implement automated dependency scanning and auditing for modern web projects. - Identify and mitigate event-injection risks within serverless application logic. The course begins with foundational terminology and core security concepts for cloud-native apps before moving into specific strategies for workstation hardening and secure coding workflows. This program is designed for developers who want to expand their security knowledge into serverless and local environment protection, and no prior security expertise is required.
