Hands-On Labs Added July 2025
We added four new Hands-On Labs in July to Cybr’s growing catalog. Let’s take a look!
AWS Lambda Function URL Enumeration and Exploitation
You’re a penetration tester conducting a security assessment of a client’s AWS environment. Your target? Lambda Function URLs that may be publicly accessible and vulnerable to exploitation. In this hands-on lab, you’ll learn to systematically enumerate Lambda Function URLs, identify security misconfigurations, and exploit weaknesses to demonstrate real-world attack scenarios. You’ll master reconnaissance techniques, understand the attack surface of serverless applications, and gain critical skills for both offensive security testing and defending against Lambda-based threats.
Introduction to AWS Lambda Functions
You’re a cloud engineer new to serverless computing and need to understand AWS Lambda fundamentals. Starting from the basics, you’ll deploy your first Lambda function, configure triggers and permissions, and explore the Lambda execution environment. Through practical exercises, you’ll learn to write efficient serverless code, manage function versions, and understand cost optimization strategies. This foundational lab prepares you for more advanced serverless security concepts and gives you the hands-on experience needed to confidently work with Lambda in production environments.
Pentesting AWS Lambda with CloudFox
You’re a cloud security specialist tasked with performing a comprehensive security assessment of your organization’s serverless infrastructure. Using CloudFox, a powerful enumeration tool, you’ll systematically discover and analyze Lambda functions across your AWS environment. You’ll learn to identify privilege escalation opportunities, uncover sensitive data exposure risks, and map out complex serverless architectures. This advanced lab teaches you to think like an attacker while building the defensive skills needed to secure Lambda deployments at scale.
Security Observability with CloudWatch Dashboards
You’re a security operations center (SOC) analyst responsible for monitoring and detecting threats across your AWS infrastructure. Using CloudWatch Dashboards, you’ll build comprehensive security visibility into your cloud environment by creating custom metrics, setting up intelligent alerts, and designing actionable dashboards. You’ll learn to correlate security events, identify anomalous behavior patterns, and create automated response workflows. These essential skills help you transform raw log data into security intelligence and maintain continuous visibility over your cloud security posture.
See you next month with more AWS security labs!
