Cloudflare, Inc.<\/a>, the leading connectivity cloud company, today published its inaugural\u00a02026 Cloudflare Threat Report<\/a>. This report draws on the expertise of the\u00a0Cloudforce One<\/a>\u00a0threat research team and the scale of Cloudflare\u2019s global network to spotlight a fundamental rewiring of the modern cyberattack. The data reveals that threat actors are using DDoS attacks of unprecedented scale, leveraging AI systems to exploit vulnerabilities, and continuing to strike at traditional weak spots like email to find ways to \u201clog in\u201d versus \u201cbreak in.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The 2026 report arms security teams against emerging threats, detailing the tactics and trends behind the 230 billion threats Cloudflare blocks on average each day. With AI making it easier for anyone to launch sophisticated attacks, threat actors are moving faster than ever. They are not just crashing websites; they are quietly infiltrating payroll systems and tricking software into trusting them. Security is no longer about keeping strangers out, it\u2019s about proving that the users inside your network are who they say they are.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cHackers thrive on the gaps left by fragmented, stale threat intelligence. At Cloudflare, we\u2019ve built the largest and most comprehensive global sensor network that gives us a front-row seat to threats invisible to everyone else,\u201d said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare<\/strong>. “By sharing this intelligence with the world, we\u2019re plugging the gaps and shifting the advantage back to the defenders. The result is a safer, more reliable Internet, where it is fundamentally more difficult and expensive for hackers to operate.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Over the past year, Cloudforce One has analyzed trillions of network signals and threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to uncover the most common attack vectors, nation-state espionage tactics, and the real-world impact of AI on cyberattacks. Key findings include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
