The report shows that CDNetworks&#8217; security platform intercepted 887.4 billion web attacks targeting applications and APIs in 2024, marking a 21.4% increase compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>The report also highlights a rise in both the intensity and sophistication of attacks, fueled by the rapid adoption of AI automation tools. In 2024, terabit-level DDoS attacks increased nearly tenfold, with 86% lasting more than 10 minutes. At the same time, CDNetworks&#8217; AI-powered defenses blocked 114.7% more malicious bot traffic compared to 2023. These trends point to a more challenging threat landscape, where attacks are easier to launch and increasingly difficult to defend against.\n<\/p>\n<p>Other key findings of the report include:<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n    Gaming platforms remained top DDoS targets; e-commerce bot attacks increased by 46.2%.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    78% of API attacks occurred post-authentication, revealing a significant security gap.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    Web exploit attacks surged by 35.01%, with HTTP protocol violations identified as a primary attack vector.\n  <\/li>\n<li>\n    AI-powered defense has become essential against evolving threats (e.g., low-and-slow DDoS, AI-driven bot attacks).\n  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdnetworks.com\/reports\/state-of-waap-2024\/?utm_source=waap+report+2024&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_campaign=Download\" rel=\"sponsored\">State of WAAP Report 2024<\/a> also provides strategic recommendations to help organizations strengthen their security posture and prepare for future security challenges.<\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;The landscape of web application and API attacks is shifting dramatically due to increased automation and complexity,&#8221; said<br \/>\n  <b>Antony Li, Global Head of Infrastructure at CDNetworks<\/b>. &#8220;Our report uncovers these emerging challenges and highlights why intelligent, AI-powered defenses are no longer optional but essential.&#8221;<\/i>\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Access the Full Report<\/b><br \/>\n<br \/>The State of WAAP Report 2024 is a valuable resource for organizations to<strong> <\/strong>stay ahead of today&#8217;s increasingly complex cybersecurity landscape.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdnetworks.com\/reports\/state-of-waap-2024\/?utm_source=waap+report+2024&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_campaign=Download\" rel=\"sponsored\">Download the full report<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdnetworks.com\/\" class=\"social-media-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px\" src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/Release\/templates\/images\/socialMedia\/generic_link.png\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"\/>https:\/\/www.cdnetworks.com\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/cdnetworks\/\" class=\"social-media-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px\" src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/Release\/templates\/images\/socialMedia\/iconmonstr-linkedin-1-24.png\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"\/>https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/cdnetworks\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/cdnetworks\" class=\"social-media-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px\" src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/Release\/templates\/images\/socialMedia\/iconmonstr-twitter-1-24.png\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"\/>https:\/\/twitter.com\/cdnetworks<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CDNetworks-156678131058653\/\" class=\"social-media-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 7px;vertical-align: middle;display: inline-block !important;width: 24px\" src=\"https:\/\/release.media-outreach.com\/Release\/templates\/images\/socialMedia\/iconmonstr-facebook-1-24.png\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" data-no-lazy=\"1\"\/>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CDNetworks-156678131058653\/<\/a>            <\/p>\n<p><b>Hashtag: <\/b>#CDNetworks #WAAP #Security #Report<\/p>\n<p>\n            <em>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<\/em>\n        <\/p>\n<p>        <img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/track.media-outreach.com\/index.php\/WebView\/384792\/4121\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" style=\"width:1px;height:1px;\"\/>\n    <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/singapore\/2025\/05\/28\/384792\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SINGAPORE &#8211; Media OutReach Newswire &#8211; 28 May 2025 &#8211; CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, today released its latest State of Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) Report.
