NEW THREATLABZ REPORT: MOBILE REMAINS A TOP THREAT VECTOR WITH 111% SPYWARE

The role of the CISO continues to expand, driven by the rising number of
breaches and cyberattacks like ransomware, as well as SEC requirements for
public organizations to disclose material breaches. 

Among the fastest-moving frontiers in enterprise cybersecurity: mobile, the
internet of things (IoT), and operational technology (OT) systems. Today, 96.5%
of people access the internet with a mobile device, while 59% of internet
traffic is generated by mobile devices. Meanwhile, OT and cyber-physical
systems, once air-gapped and isolated from the internet, have rapidly become
integrated into enterprise networks, where threats can proliferate.

To shed light on this burgeoning threat landscape, the Zscaler ThreatLabz
research team conducted a detailed analysis of mobile and IoT/OT attack trends
from June 2023 to May 2024. 

Overall, ThreatLabz tracked a rise in financially motivated mobile attacks—with
111% growth in spyware and 29% growth in banking malware—most of which can
bypass multifactor authentication (MFA). Meanwhile, IoT attacks grew 45%
year-over-year, and ThreatLabz identified pervasive security risks in OT
environments.

This blog post will summarize key findings from the report. For a comprehensive
understanding of mobile and IoT/OT trends, case studies, and best practices to
secure your organization, download the Zscaler ThreatLabz 2024 Mobile, IoT, and
OT Threat Report. 

 




6 KEY MOBILE AND IOT/OT FINDINGS




TOP MOBILE AND IOT/OT TRENDS

1. Rise in financially-motivated mobile threats, including a 111% rise in
spyware and 29% growth in banking malware. 

 * Despite an overall decrease in Android attacks, financially-motivated mobile
   threats are growing, with the majority able to bypass MFA. 

2. IoT attacks increased by 45% based on blocked attempts in the Zscaler
cloud compared to our 2023 report. 

 * Zscaler blocked 45% more IoT malware transactions than the previous year.
   ThreatLabz also observed a 12% rise in the number of attempts to deliver
   malware (payload deliveries) to IoT devices. 

3. ThreatLabz discovered 200+ fake apps discovered on the Google Play Store. 

 * This includes Anatsa, a known Android banking malware that uses PDF and QR
   code readers to distribute malware, which has targeted more than 650
   financial institutions. 

4. Legacy and end-of-life operating systems (OS) leave OT systems vulnerable. 

 * Once air-gapped and isolated from the internet, OT and cyber-physical systems
   have rapidly become integrated into enterprise networks, enabling threats to
   proliferate.
 * ThreatLabz found that 50% or more of OT systems use end-of-life OS, many with
   known vulnerabilities, in an analysis of large-scale OT deployments.
   Meanwhile, risky protocols and services in east-west OT traffic abound. 

 




TOP MOBILE AND IOT/OT TARGETS

5. India was the top target for mobile attacks, experiencing 28% of all attacks,
followed by the US, Canada, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Meanwhile,
the United States remains the top target of IoT attacks, experiencing 81% of
overall attacks, followed by Singapore, the UK, Germany, and Canada. 



6. Manufacturing experienced the highest volume of IoT attacks, accounting for
36% of all IoT malware blocks observed, followed by transportation (14%) and
food, beverage & tobacco (11%). Meanwhile, the technology and education sectors
were most targeted by mobile threats.



 

 




SECURING MOBILE, IOT, AND OT WITH ZERO TRUST



As cyberattacks that target mobile and IoT/OT assets become more sophisticated,
enterprises need a way to reduce cyber risk while, at the same time, embracing
IoT and OT connectivity to drive business. Indeed, not only are IoT attacks
growing, but threat actors are actively targeting OT devices and critical
infrastructure, about which CISA has warned. Meanwhile, enterprises need a way
to robustly secure mobile connectivity to any SaaS or private application,
whether in the cloud or in the data center. To protect these devices and
systems, enterprises should adopt a zero trust approach that mitigates
cyberthreats and improves their security posture:

 

 * Discover, classify, and inventory IoT and OT assets: Work to gain full
   visibility into your IoT and OT attack surface; this includes discovering,
   classifying, and inventorying both managed and unmanaged or “shadow” devices.
   With this kind of holistic view, defenders can prioritize their efforts,
   identify key vulnerabilities, and develop a proactive approach to securing
   these assets.
 * Enable zero trust connectivity: Leverage a robust zero trust architecture
   that enables adaptive access decisions based on the real-time security and
   posture of user devices, risk factors, and device telemetry, ensuring secure
   direct connectivity between endpoints and applications—never to the
   underlying network. 
 * Enforce zero trust device segmentation: Apply least-privileged access
   controls for device-to-application, user-to-application, and
   application-to-application segmentation. This granular level of segmentation
   eliminates lateral movement, minimizes data exposure, and strengthens your
   overall security posture by reducing the potential for a single compromised
   device to jeopardize the entire network. This should include isolating and
   fully segmenting agentless IoT/OT devices into a secure “network of one”,
   including legacy servers and headless machines. 
 * Maintain consistent zero trust security policies: Ensure that zero trust
   access policies are consistently enforced across all environments, whether
   users are at headquarters, brand locations, or accessing applications
   remotely.
