HealthIT Security (1/12, McKeon) reports, “Cloud adoption has been on the rise in the healthcare sector for years for good reason as more organizations lean into digital transformation.” However, “despite rapid adoption, cloud technologies are not immune to security threats,” as “data from Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) company Netskope” revealed that “more than 400 distinct cloud applications delivered malware in 2022.” The report noted, “Cloud malware delivery increased in 2022 after having remained constant in 2021, caused by an increase in the total number of apps abused to deliver malware and the quantity of malware downloads coming from the most popular apps.”
