us that attackers still exploit fundamental web vulnerabilities. Basic cyber hygiene, patching, and strong WAF implementations remain essential. 4. Regional nuances are key: The stark difference between KSA and UAE’ s Q2 figures illustrates that a global average can mask critical regional dynamics. Organisations, especially those operating across multiple geographies, must tailor their cybersecurity strategies to local threat landscapes and regulatory environments.
5. The unseen battle: Cloudflare’ s data only represents what they blocked. The true volume of attacks, including those that succeed or are not detected, is undoubtedly far higher. This reinforces the need for continuous monitoring, threat intelligence sharing, and incident response planning.
“ Cloudflare’ s Q2 data reinforces the dual reality of the Internet today, while usage is accelerating at unprecedented rates, so are the sophistication and frequency of cyberthreats,” said Bashar Bashaireh, AVP Middle East, Türkiye and North Africa, at Cloudflare.“ Our mission remains focused on enabling a secure, fast and reliable Internet experience for every user, everywhere.”

Cloudflare’ s Q2 2025 report serves as a stark reminder that the digital world is a battleground. While the slight QoQ dip in global threats might offer a momentary breath, the accelerating yearover-year growth and the intense regional activity in places like the UAE signal that organisations must not let their guard down. Proactive, adaptive and regionally aware cybersecurity strategies are no longer optional but imperative for navigating the increasingly complex and dangerous internet.
