"AI does not make every attack new, but it compresses the time defenders have to understand and contain threats," **said** **Antony Li, Global Head of Infrastructure at CDNetworks.** "The challenge moving forward is less about identifying every vulnerability and more about understanding which exposures create real risk. Organizations that make those decisions early will be better positioned to regain control of their security posture." The CDNetworks State of WAAP Report 2025 also provides organizations with security strategies and best practices.
