CDNetworks Named a Leader in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for China Intelligent Secure Access Service Edge (SASE)

SINGAPORE, August 21, 2025 – CDNetworks, the APAC-leading network to deliver edge as a service, has been named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: China Intelligent Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc #CHC52971525, June 2025). A total of sixteen vendors were evaluated for the report.

IDC highlights CDNetworks for providing a one-stop SASE platform that unifies security, networking, edge computing capabilities, and AI-driven intelligence within a zero-trust framework. As enterprises in China place greater emphasis on secure hybrid connectivity and unified network-security management, CDNetworks’ alignment with these priorities has been acknowledged through its placement in the Leader category.

Strengths noted by the IDC MarketScape for CDNetworks:

• Global edge infrastructure for fast access and strong security: With over 2,800 PoPs worldwide and 20 Tbps of real-time DDoS mitigation capacity, CDNetworks draws on more than 15 years of security expertise to ensure fast, reliable, and secure connectivity.
• Multi-layered defense for holistic risk control: Identity-centric designs enable multi-point threat detection across endpoints, networks, and applications, with end-to-end behavioral threat analysis and coordinated policy enforcement for rapid and effective threat response.
• Comprehensive data loss prevention with full lifecycle coverage: Built on the Extended Data Loss Prevention (XDLP) framework, CDNetworks’ solution delivers data classification and controls across the full lifecycle.
• AI-driven intelligence for enhanced protection and operational efficiency: AI is embedded across all defense layers in CDNetworks’ solution to enable accurate anomaly detection and network threat identification.
• Streamlined enterprise security operations and enhanced end-user experience: CDNetworks solution supports self-deployment with built-in, industry-specific security templates that simplify administration and improve usability

“As enterprises move deeper into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, they expect both stronger protection and simplified management,” said Antony Li, APAC Head of Sales at CDNetworks. “Being named a Leader by IDC MarketScape validates our long-term commitment to integrating security and networking into a single intelligent platform, helping organizations operate with confidence and agility.”
