Release Date: August 9, 2026
This release introduces two new enhancements designed to broaden deployment flexibility and strengthen protection validation against increasingly sophisticated, AI-driven attack techniques.
In This Release:
- Bring DDoS Validation to Cloudflare's CDN Environments, Fully Native
- Stay Ahead of AI-Driven Attackers with Smarter, More Transparent Attack Generation
Native Cloudflare Deployment (Log Ingestion)Enhancement
Enables RADAR to validate DDoS mitigation coverage for targets protected by Cloudflare's CDN, using log-based ingestion rather than traffic mirroring.
This capability allows an interface to be configured to ingest the logs delivered to an R2 bucket, which the RADAR Detector reads directly to perform simulation validation and analysis.
For more information on how this solution works, navigate to: How to Assign Network Interfaces.
Why It Matters:
This enhancement makes it easier for organizations to integrate RADAR into their existing Cloudflare's CDN setup, while maintaining the visibility required for effective testing and security analysis. It simplifies deployment by reducing infrastructure dependencies, removing the need for a physical network tap or mirrored interface.
How to Access It:
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to Setup.
- Click Network Interfaces.
- Select the relevant interface to configure for the Cloudflare log solution.
- Under Traffic Source dropdown, select Logs.
- Under the Application dropdown, select Cloudflare Logpush-R2.
VectorAI™ Enhancement
VectorAI new enhancement builds on VectorAI's AI-generated attack simulation with a more sophisticated generation engine and a redesigned generation experience.
The new enhancement launches the following additions:
- Supports multiple leading AI models, selectable when generating an attack
- A new step-by-step generation experience, showing what is happening behind the scenes at each stage of the process
- A new coverage group, "VectorAI Generated" organizes all newly introduced AI-generated attacks
- Improved labeling for generated attacks when scheduling a simulation from the Scheduler page, including in Vendor Reports
- Uses historical context about the environment to keep each generated attack distinct, maximizing the range of scenarios tested over time
Why It Matters:
As DDoS attackers increasingly rely on AI to generate faster, more adaptive, never-seen-before attacks, validating readiness against AI-generated attacks is no longer optional, it's a requirement for maintaining business continuity.
VectorAI new enhancement makes that validation broader, more transparent, and easier to act on, giving security teams greater confidence that their defenses can hold against threats that don't yet exist in any known attack library.
How to Access It:
- In the left-hand menu, navigate to VectorAI.
- Select Attack Generator.
