Threat Intelligence
Report
DDoS attacks in 2025 didn’t get louder. They got harder to see, harder to stop, and faster than any human can respond to.
Key findings include:
- Invisible to traditional defenses: Over half of sub-1 Gbps attacks are under 200 Mbps, blending into normal traffic while probing defenses.
- Manual response is no longer viable: Six-second pulse attacks eliminate the window for reactive intervention.
- Complexity at scale: Campaigns now combine 50+ vectors and adapt in real time.
Our latest threat intelligence report details what the data shows — and what effective defense looks like now.
Attack sizes that would have triggered all-hands alerts in 2024 were happening with enough regularity that we had to recalibrate what “normal” looked like. That happened more than once. The baseline kept moving.
