Qualys

Qualys is a pioneering cloud-based IT security company that has delivered vulnerability management, compliance, and web application security solutions from a pure cloud-native architecture since its founding in 1999. Headquartered in Foster City, California, Qualys protects more than 10,000 customers globally, including a significant majority of Forbes Global 100 companies, and has built one of the most comprehensive and trusted cloud security platforms in the industry.

Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response) is the company's unified vulnerability management platform that continuously discovers, assesses, prioritizes, and remediates vulnerabilities across on-premises assets, cloud workloads, containers, and web applications. VMDR uses the Qualys Cloud Agent to provide real-time visibility into vulnerability status without the need for credentialed network scans, delivering accurate and up-to-date asset inventory with minimal performance impact.

Qualys Policy Compliance automates configuration assessment and compliance reporting against industry benchmarks and regulatory frameworks including CIS Benchmarks, DISA STIGs, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and SOX. The platform provides continuous monitoring of security configuration drift and generates evidence reports that auditors and compliance teams can use to demonstrate adherence to policy requirements.

Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) performs comprehensive dynamic testing of web applications and APIs to discover vulnerabilities including OWASP Top 10 risks, authentication weaknesses, and sensitive data exposure. WAS integrates into CI/CD pipelines to shift security testing left, enabling development teams to identify and remediate security issues early in the software development lifecycle.

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management (CSAM) provides a comprehensive, continuously updated inventory of all IT assets including hardware, software, certificates, and cloud resources, enriched with vulnerability data and business context. This asset intelligence foundation enables security and IT teams to make risk-based prioritization decisions and demonstrate complete visibility across their attack surface to auditors and executive leadership.
