The manufacturing sector is facing a growing threat from cybercriminals who exploit cloud platforms and AI services to launch sophisticated attacks. A report by Netskope Threat Labs reveals that 22 out of every 10,000 manufacturing users encounter malicious content monthly, signaling a rise in targeted attacks aimed at compromising industrial operations and sensitive intellectual property.
The attackers are now leveraging trusted platforms, with Microsoft OneDrive being the most common source of malware distribution. Their strategies extend to generative AI applications, where they exploit popular services like OpenAI and AssemblyAI to target manufacturing organizations. By embedding malware within seemingly legitimate files, attackers bypass security measures as unsuspecting employees download these files from cloud platforms, leading to widespread network compromise.
To mitigate these threats, organizations need to enhance their security measures, implementing robust download inspection policies and data loss prevention solutions. The nature of these attacks highlights the importance of vigilance in monitoring cloud-based interactions and maintaining strict application control to safeguard against evolving cyber threats.
