Escalating Cloud Security Threats: Growing Faster Than Ever

Escalating Cloud Security Threats: Growing Faster Than Ever

This substantial year-on-year rise can be attributed to the mounting instances of malware downloads from popular enterprise cloud apps. Microsoft’s OneDrive has emerged as the most favoured enterprise app by a considerable margin. Additionally, Netskope identified 261 distinct malicious applications in Q1 of this year, indicating a continued upward trend in the proliferation of malware-infected apps.

Compounding the issue, only a fraction of web malware downloads can be traced back to the so-called “risky web categories.” The majority of these downloads are dispersed across various sites, with content delivery networks (CDNs) being the primary medium, accounting for 7.7% of the market share.
