#ThisWeekinNET — Episode 115 In this end-of-year episode of This Week in NET, host João Tomé is joined by Omer Yoachimik, Senior Product Manager for DDoS Protection at Cloudflare, to break down the realities of the 2025 DDoS threat landscape — and what’s coming next. They discuss how DDoS attacks reached previously “theoretical” scales in 2025, including record-breaking 31 Tbps attacks, the rise of massive botnets like Aisuru, and how geopolitical events increasingly shape cyber activity. Omer explains why traditional scrubbing-center defenses are becoming obsolete, how Cloudflare’s autonomous, globally distributed mitigation works, and why automation and real-time intelligence are now essential. The conversation closes with practical advice for organizations, common myths about DDoS risk, and what to expect in 2026 as attacks grow larger, faster, and more sophisticated.

Cybercriminals don't care about borders. So why do we have 12 different regulatory frameworks for the same threat? Olivier Busolini, Group Head of Information Security at Mashreq Bank, voiced the frustration every global CISO feels: "In every country, I have 12 countries at Mashreq. In every country, there is a slightly different or sometimes vastly different requirement that I have to abide to." Think about it: When an APT attacks, they don't check if you're in Country A or Country B. When ransomware spreads, it doesn't stop at regulatory boundaries. When fraud infrastructure operates, it's global by design. But CISOs? We're spending massive resources proving compliance with fragmented requirements instead of actually defending against the threats. The ask is simple: Every regulator has the same objective—protect the country, protect citizens, protect the market. Why can't we harmonize the controls?

The castle and moat is dead. Your corporate network? That's just the Internet now. Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer at Cloudflare, broke down why zero trust isn't a product you can buy—it's a philosophy you must adopt: "Zero trust is not a product. It's a philosophy. Once you adopt this idea that your own corporate network is basically the Internet and the Internet is your corporate network, we really need to have a good sense for who you are and what systems you can access." The shift? ❌ Old model: Trust anyone inside the perimeter ✅ New model: Verify identity and behavior for every access attempt The question isn't "Are they on our network?" It's "Does this person's behavior match who they claim to be?" At Cloudflare, we use our own zero trust product. The experience is seamless—but the security is uncompromising. Want to understand how zero trust actually works in practice? 🎧 Listen to our 2025 Year in Review compilation featuring 12 leading security experts: 👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3oT4iuRJDyrCeBClmnn1Bv 👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cybersecurity-predictions-2026-what-security-leaders/id1798438916?i=1000741481547 👉 YouTube: https://youtu.be/cWtNJq3C2Zc

#ThisWeekinNET — Episode 112 In this episode of This Week in NET, we talk with Daniele Molteni, Director of Product Management for Cloudflare’s WAF, about how Cloudflare responded within hours to a newly disclosed React Server Components vulnerability — deploying global protection before the public advisory was even released. That speed matters. In just the first 11 days after disclosure, Cloudflare observed more than 1 billion exploitation attempts related to React2Shell, with sustained pressure averaging over 4 million hits per hour, and peaks far higher. Threat actors quickly integrated the vulnerability into large-scale scanning and reconnaissance, targeting even critical infrastructure. If you run React, upgrading is urgent. Daniele explains how WAF rules are built, how new payload logging improvements help customers understand real attack traffic, and what’s coming next in 2026 — including Firewall for AI, fraud detection, and safer, gradual rule rollouts. To close the episode, Systems Engineer Steve James gives a hands-on demo of a real-time multiplayer chess app running inside ChatGPT, built with the Agents SDK and Cloudflare Workers. ⏱️ Timestamps 02:13 — The Cloudflare WAF and the new React Server Components vulnerability 07:15 — How Cloudflare deployed protection early (Emergency Release) 08:30 — Payload logging improvements and encrypted visibility 11:00 — Looking ahead to 2026: Firewall for AI, fraud detection, rule rollout 12:17 — What makes LLM-specific attacks different (jailbreaks, prompt injections) 14:10 — Demo: Steve James on building apps with the Agents SDK; Multiplayer real-time chess game inside ChatGPT 18:30 — Asking the AI for chess analysis mid-game 21:10 — How the app works (MCP servers, Workers, real-time sync) 22:00 — The future of agent ecosystems & why Workers is ideal Subscribe for more weekly conversations on Internet trends, infrastructure, and technology: ThisWeekinNET.com

Everyone's investing in AI detection and security training. But here's what most organizations are missing: Operational controls. As João Pedro Gonçalves, CISO at EQT Group, explained in our 2025 Year in Review: "We feel like the more AI mimics a human, the more operational controls you need to have inside the organization." The reality? AI-powered scams will eventually bypass your detection systems. Training will fail. Heuristics aren't deterministic. What protects you when that happens? ✅ Separation of duties (no single employee can move millions) ✅ Vendor callbacks for verification ✅ Four-eyes principle on critical transactions ✅ Classical operational controls that don't rely on detection AI isn't making these fundamentals obsolete. It's making them more critical than ever.
