Event-driven security

Event-driven architectures have emerged as the bedrock of contemporary cloud-native applications, especially those leveraging serverless platforms. While these architectures offer many benefits, such as scalability and decoupling, they also present unique security challenges. This section aims to offer an in-depth exploration of these challenges, focusing on strategies for mitigation, with a specific emphasis on EventBridge.

Event sources

First and foremost, it is essential to identify and secure the event sources. These could range from API requests and message queues to cloud storage and databases. Ensuring that only authorized entities can generate events is the first line of defense in event-driven security. This often involves implementing proper authentication and authorization mechanisms, both at the event source and destination levels.
