“Die Bereitstellung von Malware verlagert sich weiter in die Cloud. 61 Prozent der Malware wurde 2020 über Cloud-Apps verteilt. Im Vorjahr waren es noch 48 Prozent.
“Die große Verbreitung von Cloud-Apps in Unternehmen macht sie zu einem beliebten Ziel für Phishing-Angriffe. Cloud-Apps sind mittlerweile das Ziel von jeder dritten (36 %) Phishing-Kampagne.

Durch die Bereitstellung über Cloud-Apps können dabei traditionelle E-Mail- und Web-Sicherheitslösungen häufig umgangen werden. Entsprechend machten bösartige Office-Dokumente 27 Prozent aller Malware-Downloads aus, die von der Netskope Security Cloud erkannt und blockiert wurden.”

But the development towards the cloud is gaining momentum in Germany.”>>> geldinstitute.de
