IBM's X-Force team released the Cloud Threat Landscape Report for 2024, highlighting the decrease in mentions of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms on dark web marketplaces.
The average decrease in SaaS mentions was 20.4% year-over-year, with WordPress-Admin declining by 98% and Microsoft Active Directory and ServiceNow seeing declines of 44% and 38% respectively.
The decrease in SaaS mentions is attributed to the sophistication of modern cybersecurity solutions and the takedown of Raccoon Stealer, a widely used infostealer malware in the dark web.
While the decline in SaaS mentions is positive, organizations are advised to maintain proactive security measures and conduct comprehensive security testing to mitigate risks of system compromise.
