Overview
Qualys is an American security company founded in 1999 that pioneered delivering vulnerability scanning as a cloud service rather than as software customers installed and ran themselves. Its platform builds an inventory of an organisation's assets, scans them for vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, prioritises what to fix based on whether an exploit exists and is being used, and increasingly handles the patching itself. Headquartered in Foster City and listed on Nasdaq, it competes with Tenable and Rapid7 and has extended into cloud security posture management and compliance reporting.

Products
Cloud Security Posture
Configuration assessment and compliance monitoring for public cloud accounts and containers. It extends the company's scanning model to infrastructure that is created and destroyed too quickly for periodic scans.
qualys.com
Patch Management
Deployment of patches directly from the same platform that identified the vulnerability. Closing that loop removes the handover between security and operations teams, which is where remediation usually stalls for weeks in large organisations.
qualys.com
CyberSecurity Asset Management
Discovery and inventory of every asset connected to an environment, including those nobody has recorded. Most vulnerability programmes fail on the assets that were never in the inventory rather than on the ones that were scanned.
qualys.com
VMDR
The combined detection, prioritisation and response product that ranks findings by real-world exploitation rather than by severity score alone. Prioritisation is the part customers value, because no security team can remediate every finding a scan produces.
qualys.com
Vulnerability Management
Scanning and assessment of assets for known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across networks, endpoints and cloud. It is the product the company was built on and remains the core of what customers buy, with everything else sold as an extension of the same asset picture.
