The scale and techniques of DDoS attacks are evolving faster than ever. Attack volume has grown exponentially from Gbps to over six terabits, and the frequency of attacks doubled in the last year alone.
However, this increase in volume is less significant than the surge in sophistication. Attackers are moving beyond simple volumetric attacks and are now leveraging AI, automation, and a vast pool of IoT devices to launch complex, multi-vector campaigns that include ransomware and credential stuffing. This new breed of attack increasingly targets the application layer, with a particular focus on enterprise APIs and API gateways.
