Because adversaries deliver malware through many different channels, organizations in the Manufacturing industry must ensure that they have security controls to block malware downloads over the most popular ones. Approximately one-half of all global HTTP/HTTPS malware downloads originate from popular cloud apps, with the other half originating from different locations on the web. This section highlights the apps Netskope blocked the most malware downloads for over the past year.
The trend is for the most popular apps around the world are also among the top apps in terms of the number of malware downloads, reflecting adversary tactics (adversaries tend to abuse top apps because of their popularity), user behavior (users interact with popular apps more frequently), and organizational policy (organizations tend to allow popular apps). Differences also arise based on those exact same three factors.
In Manufacturing, most of the cloud apps had a similar rate when it comes to malware abuse. OneDrive specifically had around twice as many percentage points when compared to other apps. From this trend, we can conclude that not only attackers have been having success delivering malware via OneDrive, but Manufacturing users should also take extra precautions when using the app, and make sure the correct policies are in place.
