# Serverless Security Workshop > **WARNING**: The purpose of the workshop is to provide a starter API which **does NOT follow many security best practices** on purpose. The tutorial modules guide you to identify security gaps in the starter app, and implement protection measures for them. > > Furthermore, the modules **do not cover ALL** the security measures that should be applied. After completing all modules, we recommend you to explore additional protections, such as ensuring the principle of least privilege. See the **Extra Credit** section for more details. In this workshop, you will learn techniques to secure a serverless application built with AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway and RDS Aurora. We will cover AWS services and features you can leverage to improve the security of a serverless applications in 5 domains: 1. identity & access management 1. infrastructure 1. data 1. code 1. logging & monitoring ## Getting Started Workshop URL: [serverless-security-workshop](https://catalog.us-east-1.prod.workshops.aws/workshops/026f84fd-f589-4a59-a4d1-81dc543fcd30) ## License Summary The documentation is made available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
