CSA Summit Talk Details:
SESSION: “Cloud-First” Ransomware: A Technical Analysis
DATES: 1:30-1:50 p.m. PT
LOCATION: Marriott Marquis – Yerba Buena 5, San Francisco
SPEAKERS: Krishna Narayanaswamy – Chief Scientist, Netskope
Ravi Balupari – Director of Netskope Threat Research Labs, Netskope
OVERVIEW: Cloud services have emerged as the preferred attack vector of some of the most dangerous and innovative cloud malware exploits of the past six months. Why? Because many organizations don’t inspect their cloud SSL traffic for a malware and the same functionalities of the cloud dramatically increase productivity (sync, share, collaborate, etc) also provide ransomware developers with a perfect medium for faster delivery of malware payloads to more targets.
The talk will detail the most recent malware campaign discoveries from The Netskope Threat Research Lab. Krishna and Ravi will provide technical analyses on the following:
- Virlock ransomware, which encrypts files and also infects them, making it a polymorphic file infector
- CloudFanta which uses the SugarSync cloud storage app to deliver malware capable of stealing user credentials and monitoring online banking activities
- CloudSquirrel which takes advantage of multiple cloud apps throughout the ransomware kill chain with the intent to steal and exfiltrate user data
- The Zepto variant of Locky ransomware now distributed both by popular cloud storage apps and via DLL.
This will be the first formal talk from the Netskope Threat Research Labs, launched in early 2016. Staffed by the industry’s foremost cloud threat and malware researchers, the Netskope Threat Research Labs discovers and analyzes the latest cloud threats affecting enterprises.
