Simulating Cloud Security Threats - OneDrive Malware File Upload

  • Last updated on

Rule: 

Office 365 OneDrive Malware File Upload

Purpose

Identifies the occurrence of files uploaded to OneDrive being detected as Malware by the file scanning engine. Attackers can use File Sharing and Organization Repositories to spread laterally within the company and amplify their access. Users can inadvertently share these files without knowing their maliciousness, giving adversaries opportunity to gain initial access to other endpoints in the environment.  

Objective

Ensure that malware file uploads to OneDrive are detected.
