DDoS Threat Landscape Report
Quarterly Report – January 2026
In our latest quarterly review, we take a closer look at the recent threat report from leading DDoS provider Cloudflare. They highlight two realities at once: DDoS attack frequency and scale are rising, while time-critical services across industries are under growing strain.
This reality is supported by MazeBolt research, which is based on hundreds of thousands of nondisruptive DDoS attack simulations annually.
Our experience shows that DDoS protection gaps are the result of configuration drift, blind spots, and scope of validation.
In this report, we map Cloudflare’s findings to MazeBolt’s research to highlight the main threats to monitor, how operational risk is shifting, and what boards and regulators expect.

What you will learn
- Botnets are getting bigger – the real risk lies in precision and speed of adaptation
- Low-volume Layer 7 attacks can disrupt critical workflows
- Spikes in DDoS attacks align with events like elections and geopolitical flashpoints
- Attackers are leveraging more evasive tactics with AI
- With attacks increasingly fast-moving, manual responses don’t prevent downtime
