Cloudflare's sixth annual Year in Review report describes an internet increasingly shaped by two forces: automated traffic and government intervention, as global connectivity grew 19% year over year in 2025.
Google's web crawler now dominates automated traffic, dwarfing other AI and indexing bots to become the single largest source of bot activity on the web. Nearly half of all major internet disruptions globally were linked to government actions, and civil society and non-profit organizations became the most attacked sector for the first time.
Post-quantum encryption crossed a significant threshold, now protecting 52% of human internet traffic observed by Cloudflare. The company also recorded more than 25 record-breaking DDoS attacks throughout the year.
Anthropicは同社が開発したModel Context Protocol(MCP)を、Linux Foundationの傘下に新設されたAgentic AI Foundation(AAIF)に移管することを2025年12月10日に発表しました。AAIFは、Anthropic・OpenAI・Blockの3社が共同で設立した組織であり、Google、Microsoft、Amazon Web Services(AWS)、Cloudflare、Bloombergなどが支援を行っています。この取り組みは、AIエージェントの技術開発において、特定のベンダーに依存しない中立的かつオープンなエコシステムを構築することを目的としています。
