The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) emphasizes that protecting
one’s own vulnerabilities is key to strengthening cybersecurity.

The conclusion is clear: Those who fail to strengthen their digital resilience remain vulnerable in an environment that is more professional, networked, and dynamic than ever before. Numerous trends will play an important role in 2026 in effectively optimizing the strengthening of one’s own cybersecurity. We take a look at which topics could be of interest to you.

The whitepaper shows how attacks have evolved from simple volume waves to highly orchestrated, multi-layered attacks. Web DDoS campaigns combine Layer 3/4 floods with precise Layer 7 attacks, systematically test defense mechanisms, and dynamically rotate their attack vectors. The case studies presented paint a clear picture: attackers operate globally, adaptively, and with a level of professionalism that was previously reserved for state actors. Take a look at the details and understand how a paradigm shift has taken place in recent years.

GLS, one of Europe’s leading parcel delivery companies, protects its business-critical IT infrastructure and relies on Link11 as its strategic partner for DDoS protection. The central services that control the Europe-wide parcel flow of almost one billion shipments per year require maximum availability and rely on Link11’s cloud-based DDoS protection to achieve this. Read our case study to find out why GLS chose Link11, what advantages the partnership offers, and how the company is using it to ensure the stability of its core business.

vitero secures its critical communication platform and relies on Link11 as its strategic partner for DDoS protection. The platform for high-quality live communication, used by corporations, government agencies, and educational institutions, requires absolute reliability for smooth operation and relies on Link11’s specialized protection solution to achieve this. Read our case study to find out why vitero chose Link11, the added value it provides beyond mere protection, and how the company secures its digital sovereignty.

Link11’s European Cyber Report provides a review of the first half of 2025 and a clear summary of the current threat landscape. Our security experts summarize how the threat situation has developed in recent months and what you can expect in the future. As a little spoiler in advance: The threat posed by DDoS attacks has increased dramatically in the last six months – both quantitatively and qualitatively.

Robust bot management is more important than ever in today’s ever-changing threat landscape. In 2024, automated bot traffic surpassed human-generated internet traffic for the first time in over a decade, accounting for 51% of all web activity. The threat landscape is constantly evolving – and so defenses must regularly evolve to keep pace. We provide an overview of the current situation and what you should pay particular attention to.

Mobile API endpoints can be difficult to defend against attackers. Many traditional web security technologies are based on browser verification, which is designed to detect the headless browsers and emulators that threat actors typically use. However, with mobile apps, there is no browser to verify. This can lead to serious security problems that need to be dealt with in a focused manner. We explain how our own WAAP solution cleverly and easily closes this gap.

The „Web Application API Protection Buyer’s Guide 2025“ outlines best practices for thoroughly evaluating your web application protection options. This guide helps you select a suitable solution that provides a holistic approach to securing your web applications while adapting flexibly to your business needs and emerging threats. Additionally, the document includes an overview of essential requirements and targeted questions to ask potential security vendors during your evaluation process.

Almost all modern web attacks include the use of bots to interact with the targeted domain. Without a reliable method for identifying and excluding bots, your site will be vulnerable to pen tests (leading to intrusions and breaches), defacements, DoS/DDoS attacks, content scraping, fuzzing, brute force login attempts, and many other forms of attack.

Reblaze (now part of Link11) uses visitor behavior, challenges, and honeypots to detect even advanced bots powered by full-stack browsers such as Webkit, Chromium/V8, and IE-WebBrowserControl that bypass traditional bot detection methods.
