Cloudflare Signals Report

The 2025 Cloudflare Signals Report, “Resilience at Scale,” examines how escalating cyber threats, rapid AI adoption, and geopolitical instability are reshaping the leadership agenda. As AI-powered attacks grow in speed and sophistication, resilience is no longer a technical concern but a core business imperative. The report argues that traditional, reactive security models are insufficient in a world of adversarial AI, cloud sprawl, identity-based attacks, and looming post-quantum risks. Building resilience now requires proactive, intelligence-driven defenses embedded across the enterprise, with shared accountability across the C-suite.

• AI-driven threats and insider risks demand AI-powered, automated defenses and close CTO collaboration.
• Zero Trust and identity-centric security have replaced perimeter-based models in cloud- and API-heavy environments.
• Data privacy, post-quantum readiness, and geopolitical risk require early, cross-functional executive involvement.

The report positions resilience as a strategic growth enabler, not just a safeguard. Cloudflare’s global platform exemplifies how organizations can embed security, visibility, and scalability into their operations, helping leaders protect innovation, maintain trust, and operate confidently in an increasingly volatile digital landscape.
