Radware Ltd. published its 2026 Global Threat Analysis Report, warning of a sharp escalation in cyberattacks across networks and applications in 2025. The report found network-layer DDoS attacks surged 168.2% year over year with peak volumes nearing 30 Tbps, while web (layer 7) DDoS attacks rose 101.4% and increasingly lasted under 60 seconds. Radware also reported a 128% jump in malicious web application and API transactions and a 91.8% increase in bad bot activity, attributing much of the DDoS growth to geopolitical and ideological conflict and the accelerating use of automation and AI by attackers.
