AI, DDoS, and the Internet in 2025 | Cloudflare Radar Year in Review

#ThisWeekinNET — Episode 114 In this special Year in Review episode of This Week in NET, host João Tomé is joined by David Belson to break down the Cloudflare Radar 2025 Year in Review. Together, they explore what Cloudflare’s global network reveals about how the Internet evolved over the past year — from the rapid rise of AI crawlers and agent traffic, to record-breaking DDoS attacks, the spread of post-quantum encryption, and the growing impact of government-directed shutdowns and outages. The conversation looks at Internet resilience, security trends, and performance across countries, as well as what changed in Internet services, mobile platforms, and connectivity in 2025, and what these signals might tell us about 2026.
