Businesses urged to ensure cloud and collaboration services stay secure.
Cyber attacks on enterprise cloud services have soared by a whopping 630 per cent during the lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
A new study from McAfee found that the use of such cloud services grew by 50 per cent across all industries during the given period, but faced a huge increase in threats.
However popular collaboration tools such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype were also hit by large numbers of attacks as millions of workers adapt to a new way of working.
The study, titled ‘Cloud Adoption and Risk Report: Work from Home Edition’, is based on aggregated and anonymised usage data from more than 30 million McAfee MVISION Cloud users across the world from January to April 2020.
