What changed
Cloudflare published its H1 2026 DDoS threat report with new detail on hyper-volumetric attacks, DNS floods and the changing threat landscape.
Why it matters
The practical takeaway is architectural: a public website needs layered filtering, measurable traffic behavior, origin protection and a recovery path before an attack or viral spike tests the system.
What to review next
- Which customer or operating workflow is actually affected?
- What evidence would show that a change is worth making?
- Which permissions, data, performance or recovery boundaries could change?
- What is the smallest verified release that can test the decision safely?
