With the surge in remote working and widespread adoption of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms, security needs to be re-architected to better address modern-day threats. Apps and users have shifted from on-premises appliances to the cloud, and security infrastructure needs to adapt accordingly to keep pace.

We believe the report validates customer migration from on-premises to the cloud and security functions’ convergence into a SWG platform architecture.
Gartner’s 2020 Magic Quadrant for Secure Web Gateways (SWG) is now live, and Menlo Security has been named a Visionary for the third year in a row. In fact, Menlo Security moved further right in completeness of vision and upwards in ability to execute the and we believe is now on the cusp of the Leaders’ quadrant.

Even before Covid-19 forced the adoption of work-from-home policies across the globe, the workforce had been getting more remote, more distributed, and more dependent on Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms. In turn, organizations have been looking for a new way to protect these remote users from today’s increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. Phishing attacks remain one of the biggest threats as malicious attackers take advantage of the new normal to trick users into downloading malware or giving up their credentials.

For most of us, working has always been social. We’d commute to an office every day where we’d spend our day in strategy meetings and whiteboard sessions, grab a coffee to catch up with colleagues, and catch the boss while walking the hall to provide the latest project update. Once in a while, if we had a personal appointment, a customer meeting across town, or an early-morning conference call from overseas, we’d be able to work from home, logging in from a VPN where we’d have secure access to productivity tools.

Menlo labs has observed limited attacks, where attackers are continuing to exploit CVE-2017-11882, an old Microsoft exploit with a patch that was issued more than two years ago. As a matter of fact, an FBI report published on May 12 2020, listed it as one of the top 10 vulnerabilities routinely getting exploited. We are still analyzing some details of the malware involved in the three attacks and will post it in part 2 of this series. The following are some noteworthy features in all the attacks we identified

Cloud Apps Are a Point of Attack
Protecting workers is a challenging task—for example, 29 percent of all attacks leverage legitimate cloud services to launch an attack. Once an attacker is inside the network, they can use the same cloud app to siphon or exfiltrate valuable information out of the organization.
