Today, the UK government launched the Cyber Resilience Pledge: a voluntary framework inviting organizations to commit to foundational cyber security governance, board-level accountability, and comprehensive cybersecurity coverage across supply chains. Cloudflare is proud to join the pledge’s founding cohort of signatories and continue our long-standing work with the Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), National Cyber Security Centre, and others across the UK government to shape a more secure, future-ready digital economy for the UK.
The pledge’s core pillars — democratizing security, leadership accountability, and radical transparency — have been at the heart of Cloudflare since day one.

We are glad to see the rest of the industry moving in this direction.
This pledge is an important step, and it comes at a time of significant cyber risk. In the first quarter of 2026, Cloudflare’s global network blocked an average of 234 billion cyber threats every day. Recently, we mitigated a hyper-volumetric DDoS attack that peaked at 31.4 Tbps. At the end of 2025, Cloudflare data showed that the UK had risen to be the sixth-most targeted location across the globe for DDoS attacks, with threat actors increasingly targeting application-layer services in financial services, aviation, and regional government infrastructure. This trend is consistent with broader data from the UK Cyber Security Breaches Survey, which revealed that 43% of surveyed British businesses and 28% of charities reported suffering from a cyber incident this past year.
