SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Cloud, the cloud business of global technology company Tencent, today announced that it has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Managed Edge Services 2026 Vendor Assessment (doc #US54122426, September 2026).
According to the IDC MarketScape, "EdgeOne natively converges intelligent acceleration, DDoS protection, web application firewall, bot management, edge compute, edge storage, edge AI inference, as well as web application and AI agent development and deployment capabilities through EdgeOne Makers. Delivered through a unified platform, these capabilities help customers reduce the integration and operational complexity associated with managing multiple products."
Building Edge Infrastructure for AI-Native Applications and High-Performance Edge AI Services
The IDC MarketScape notes, "Content delivery performance and network proximity—the traditional value propositions of managed edge—are now baseline expectations rather than differentiators. The competitive frontier has shifted to AI inference at the edge, where vendors are being evaluated on GPU availability, model deployment tooling, inference latency, and token cost efficiency versus centralized cloud AI services."
To address this shift, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is evolving its global infrastructure into an edge foundation for AI-native applications. It provides enterprises with edge acceleration, security protection, edge AI inference, and full-stack capabilities to develop and deploy web applications and AI agents. On the security front, Tencent Cloud is expanding EdgeOne's protection capabilities beyond traditional cyberattacks to include the identification and management of emerging access patterns, including AI crawlers and AI agents.
Tencent Cloud EdgeOne is bringing AI inference closer to end users to meet the real-time demands of modern applications. In scenarios such as real-time conversations, transactions, gaming interactions, and media content generation, response time directly affects user experience. Tencent Cloud EdgeOne's edge AI inference platform, Booster, extends the platform's globally distributed infrastructure from content delivery to AI computing. By deploying inference services closer to business applications, Booster enables image and video generation, voice and audio processing, storage, and caching to take place nearer to end users. This allows applications such as artificial intelligence-generated content (AIGC) production, real-time media processing, intelligent recommendations, and advertising decision-making to access computing resources closer to where they are needed, enabling millisecond-level response times.
In the managed hosting sector, the rise of "vibe coding"—the practice of using AI to build applications through natural language—is expanding application development beyond websites toward the creation of AI agents. As large numbers of newly generated agents move into production environments, businesses are placing greater demands on rapid deployment and managed hosting.
Tencent Cloud EdgeOne's edge hosting platform, Makers, now supports both web applications and AI agents in addition to traditional website hosting. Developers can bring completed projects online with minimal adaptation, without building and maintaining the underlying runtime infrastructure. Makers currently serves more than 500,000 users and hosts more than one million websites, supporting corporate websites, cross-border e-commerce, AI SaaS applications, and agents across various industries, including healthcare, government, and legal services.
Edge AI Powers Real-Time Applications Across Gaming, Audio & Video, and E-Commerce
Today, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne operates more than 3,200 edge nodes with over 400Tbps of network capacity and more than 50 secondary ISP interconnections, covering Chinese Mainland and other major markets across Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, the Middle East, and Europe. From supporting Tencent's own large-scale gaming, audio and video, and e-commerce businesses to serving enterprises across industries worldwide, EdgeOne brings decades of experience in global edge infrastructure and supports sectors including finance, gaming, media, e-commerce and new retail, logistics, ticketing, aviation, and hospitality. It provides a technology foundation for enterprises expanding globally and entering the Chinese market.
Empowering the Gaming Industry with Low-Latency Delivery
According to IDC's China Gaming Cloud Market Tracker, H1 2025, Tencent Cloud CDN services powered by EdgeOne have ranked first in China by revenue for four consecutive years. Gaming resource delivery volume has also ranked first. EdgeOne has supported the distribution and security of Farlight 84, which attracted over 16 million pre-registrations ahead of launch, and Mecha BREAK, which registered over 5.2 million players for its global open beta. It has also defended Delta Force against hundreds of attacks. Meanwhile, EdgeOne Booster provides edge inference capabilities for emerging use cases such as AI-powered Non-Player Characters (NPCs), intelligent recommendations, and real-time content generation, bringing computing resources closer to players and enhancing real-time interactive experiences.
Accelerating Audio & Video Content Delivery Globally
EdgeOne covers 80% of the top 10 China-based outbound audio and video social applications by scale and serves leading global customers including Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME), Japanese karaoke app Pokekara, and Pakistani internet TV platform ARY ZAP. As AI reshapes content production and interactive experiences, EdgeOne Booster enables open-source multimodal models to be deployed at the edge, allowing images, video, and audio assets to be generated and processed closer to users without being sent back to centralized cloud infrastructure. This significantly shortens the AI content production workflow and provides global media businesses with high-concurrency, low-latency edge inference capabilities.
Driving Conversions for E-commerce and New Retail with AI
EdgeOne Makers enables one-stop deployment and hosting of e-commerce AI agents, helping AI move from "answering questions" to "solving problems." Across customer service, logistics tracking, returns and exchanges, and product selection and marketing, AI agents can execute business tasks directly, providing 24/7 service and improving operational efficiency for global businesses.
Beyond the IDC MarketScape, Tencent Cloud has also been recognized as a representative vendor in three Gartner Market Guides covering Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) mitigation solutions, web application and API protection (WAAP), and edge distribution platforms, with related capabilities incorporated into the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) international standards.
From accelerating and protecting the internet to connecting AI computing and powering AI applications, Tencent Cloud EdgeOne continues to extend its global network, security, and edge computing capabilities for the AI era, helping enterprises across industries connect with users worldwide and bring AI-powered businesses into production.

Tencent Cloud Named a Leader in the 2026 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Managed Edge Services
As the No. 1 investment app in Singapore and Malaysia, Moomoo joins a cross-sector coalition of banking & finance, technology and telecommunications leaders to strengthen investor protection and combat investment scams
SINGAPORE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Moomoo today announced that it has joined the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) as a Corporate Member, becoming the first wealth-tech and digital investment platform in Singapore and Southeast Asia to join the global coalition.
Moomoo joins an alliance whose corporate membership includes major players across banking, payments, technology and telecommunications, including HSBC, OCBC, Standard Chartered, J.P. Morgan, Mastercard, Visa, Amazon, Google, Meta, TikTok and telecommunications providers. Mastercard serves as GASA's Chair, while Amazon is Vice-Chair.
Until now, the digital brokerage and wealth-tech sector has not had a comparable presence in this ecosystem. Moomoo's membership fills an important gap by bringing the perspective of a digital investment platform into discussions on scam prevention, intelligence-sharing, customer protection and public education.
Rise in investment scams requires ecosystem-driven solutions
As investment activity becomes increasingly digital, scams are also evolving around the investor journey. Fraudsters are using the brands and visual identities of legitimate brokerages to create fake websites, cloned trading applications, fraudulent social media advertisements, impersonated executives, and fraudulent messaging groups. Moomoo's participation in GASA will enable it to contribute relevant insights from this part of the financial ecosystem while collaborating with partners that have visibility over other stages of a scam, from the first contact through a social-media post, phone call or message, to payments and attempted fund transfers.
"Moomoo's purpose is to make investing more accessible, and that comes with a responsibility to help investors navigate the risks that can accompany a digital-first environment," said Jeyson Ng, CEO, Moomoo Singapore. "Scammers exploit trust in established brands, financial institutions and online communities. The investment industry cannot stand apart from this challenge."
"By joining GASA, we are committing to contribute our perspective and insights as a wealth-tech and digital investment platform, while learning from partners across banking, payments, technology, telecommunications, law enforcement and government. A safer investment environment depends on faster information-sharing, clearer customer education and coordinated action against those who misuse legitimate brands to deceive the public."
The move reflects Moomoo's commitment to taking a more active role in combating investment scams, as its business and footprint continue to expand across Singapore and Malaysia. In both markets, Moomoo is a market leader, being the number one investment app in both Singapore and Malaysia, with over two million users in Singapore and crossing three million downloads while opening its fourth store last month in Penang, Malaysia.
"With that scale comes a responsibility to lead. Joining GASA is not simply about taking a seat in an important global coalition; it is about making sure that the digital investment industry contributes actively to the shared fight against scams. We want investor protection to be embedded in how our sector grows, innovates and earns trust across the region," Jeyson added.
State of scams in Asia
Scams remain a widespread threat across Asia. GASA's State of Scams Asia 2026 report found that 71% of Asian adults encountered a scam in the past year[1]. Investment scams were among the three most common forms encountered, cited by 22% of respondents, alongside shopping and employment scams. The report estimates that scams have cost consumers US$136.5 billion across Asia.
The challenge is compounded by the growing sophistication of scam tactics. For investors, a scam can begin with something deceptively familiar: an advertisement using the branding of a licensed firm, a message from a purported adviser, a fabricated screenshot showing investment returns, or an invitation to an "exclusive" WhatsApp or Telegram group. As scammers use artificial intelligence, deepfakes and cloned digital platforms to make their approaches more convincing, stronger action is needed from every part of the ecosystem.
GASA brings together policymakers, law-enforcement agencies, consumer authorities, financial institutions, technology and telecommunications companies, cybersecurity organisations and other stakeholders to share knowledge and develop practical solutions against scams.
"A scam rarely starts where the money ends up. It might begin with a fake ad, move to a messaging group, and only later reach a brokerage account, and until now we had no investment platform at the table to show us that last step. Moomoo's decision to join GASA as the first wealth-tech and digital investment platform in Southeast Asia fills a real gap in our alliance. Their insight into how fraudsters misuse the brands of legitimate brokerages will help us, and our members across banking, technology and telecommunications, to disrupt scams earlier and protect more investors," said Jorij Abraham, Managing Director and Founder, Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA).
Leading by example
Moomoo's GASA membership reinforces its wider ambition to be recognised not only as a market-leading digital investment platform, but also as a responsible participant in the region's financial ecosystem. It comes as the company continues to grow its presence in Southeast Asia.
"Moomoo's reputation is built on the trust customers place in us when they make decisions about their financial futures," said Erika Chiang, Chief Marketing and Growth Officer at Moomoo Southeast Asia. "As a market leader, we have an opportunity and an obligation to use our reach responsibly. We are excited to work with GASA and the ecosystem to contribute to policy, intelligence-sharing and public-education discussions alongside established leaders from across the digital economy."
"Our partnership with GASA also allows us to connect our investor education efforts with a broader ecosystem of banks, platforms, payment providers, telecommunications companies, public agencies and law-enforcement partners, all working towards the same goal: making the digital economy safer for the people who rely on it."
"The integrity of our capital markets relies heavily on the resilience of our financial intermediaries, which serve as gateways for investor participation. Collaboration is crucial to raising that resilience and ensuring high standards of protection across the digital ecosystem. Singapore Exchange Regulation welcomes efforts that help build a safer and more trusted environment for investors," said Grace Mok, Head, Market Surveillance and Supervision, Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo).
What's Next
To kickstart a series of regional initiatives, GASA will be hosting a public webinar on investment scams for audiences in Singapore and Malaysia, where Moomoo will be contributing its insights alongside a panel including representatives from law enforcement and major platform players. For details on date and time, follow the official Moomoo Instagram accounts to find out more details.
