Cloud and Threat Report: Global Cloud and Web Malware Trends

The purpose of this Cloud and Threat Report is to provide strategic, actionable intelligence on active malware threats against enterprise users. Malware is a significant and ongoing enterprise cybersecurity challenge, as attackers continue to develop new and sophisticated techniques to evade detection and compromise systems. On average, 5 out of every 1000 enterprise users attempted to download malware in Q1 2023.

Cloud and Threat Report: Global Cloud and Web Malware Trends

Attacks are evading legacy web and
email defenses

Rogue accounts

Attackers use rogue account instances within trusted managed cloud services and apps to share and deliver malicious payloads. Legacy defenses typically don’t know account owners, but Netskope Cloud XD^TM understands the user, app, instance, risk, data, and activity, so it can block rogue instances and prevent this attack vector.

Tailored attacks

Attackers conduct reconnaissance to identify your company’s preferred cloud services and apps and then creates fake login screens for these services to entice users to access, expose credentials, and possibly download payloads. Netskope Cloud XD analyzes cloud service hosting accounts, so it can identify and block fake login pages.

Cloud phishing

Attacker evades legacy web and email defenses by delivering phishing attack elements from trusted managed cloud services using a rogue account instance. Netskope understands the difference between company and rogue instances for your managed cloud services, such as AWS, Azure, GitHub, Box, or Drive to block cloud phishing.

Hosting payloads

Legacy inline defenses often deploy ‘allow policies’ for all the services adopted by different lines of business, departments, and users. This opens the door to attack payloads being hosted in the cloud. Netskope can apply granular policies to both your managed and unmanaged clouds, to determine company approved account instances.

Cloud-based C2

Attackers use the cloud for command-n-control (C2) communications. Recently, an attacker used Slack for C2, knowing the company allowed it through legacy defenses. Instead of a broad ‘allow all’ for cloud services and apps, Netskope enables you to enforce granular user and account instance-aware policies to pinpoint and mitigate risks.

The Netskope ZTNA (zero trust network access) cloud-native solution provides secure access to applications in hybrid IT environments while reducing the “appliance sprawl” of legacy point-to-point access solutions like VPNs.

Data exfiltration

Unprotected cloud storage that leads to data exposure is well known, however, data can also be exfiltrated through rogue accounts in managed cloud services. Netskope provides Data Loss Prevention (DLP) defenses and granular policy controls that are aware of user, app, instance, risk, data and activity to prevent data loss.

Cloud-focused threat protection
use cases

Malware prevention

Inspect your managed cloud services, such as Office 365 and Box, and inline cloud and website traffic for malware. Stop its spread by quarantining and replacing suspicious files with inert tombstone files, or blocking inline downloads.

Advanced threat protection

Ensure defenses match your needs, with prevention, detection, and advanced AI/ML-based threat analysis options and integration with your existing security infrastructure.

Detect behavior anomalies

Take advantage of user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) to baseline activities and detect anomalies, in real time. Also, detect unusual and excessive data movement, insider threats, or compromised credentials.

Prevent cloud phishing

Reduce the attack surface created by the managed cloud services your users trust and attackers target. Detect credential inputs into cloud-hosted fake phishing forms legacy defenses miss.

Hosting Payloads

Legacy defenses with allow/deny controls open the door for cloud hosted payloads in apps and cloud services as they rarely deny them, cannot inspect the content, and users trust these domains with valid certificates. Netskope inspects cloud and web traffic for threats, plus applies granular policy controls based on data context.

Malicious Documents

Since the pandemic, malicious Office documents have increased targeting remote working users and evading legacy defenses. Netskope inspects cloud and web traffic for malicious Office documents using a supervised machine-learning classifier trained and kept current with production data.

Ensure defenses match your needs, with prevention, detection, and advanced AI/ML-based threat analysis options and integration with your existing security infrastructure.

Reduce the attack surface created by the managed cloud services your users trust and attackers target. Detect credential inputs into cloud-hosted fake phishing forms legacy defenses miss.
