Update security-concepts.md
OWASP has published a [designated document](https://owasp.org/www-project-serverless-top-10/) for serverless application security, which I've referenced it. I'm afraid what's currently written is in contrast with OWASP's view. You can check their doc for further details but hereby, I'm quoting their conclusion: > All that means that hackers would have to come up with a different approach for attacks, which means different attack vectors. The application developers will not be able to put a single traditional perimeter protection and would need to change their way of thinking, as almost none of the mitigations suggested for traditional systems would fit in the serverless world. I've edited it accordingly.

In many ways, planning for secure development, deployment, and operation of serverless functions is much the same as for any web-based or cloud-hosted application. [Azure App Service](../app-service/index.yml) provides the hosting infrastructure for your function apps. This article provides security strategies for running your function code, and how App Service can help you secure your functions.

While planning for secure development, deployment, and operation of serverless functions is much the same as for any web-based or cloud-hosted application, serverless applications are likely vulnerable to variations of traditional attacks. To learn more about potential attacks on serverless infrastructure, see the [OWASP Top 10: Serverless Interpretation](https://owasp.org/www-project-serverless-top-10/).
