About

Qualys is an AI-native Enterprise TruRisk Management platform that has been de-risking digital environments for over 25 years. Its suite of integrated apps covers every dimension of cyber risk — from asset discovery and vulnerability management to patch deployment, compliance monitoring, and threat response — all sharing data natively within a single unified platform. At the core of Qualys's latest evolution is Agentic AI: a digital workforce that enables real-time, autonomous prioritization and response to risk signals. Key innovations include TruConfirm, which safely validates real exploitability of vulnerabilities in production environments using agent-based proof, and TruLens, a unified threat intelligence hub for adversary insights, risk research, and peer benchmarking. ETM Identity extends this to unified identity risk management, helping organizations close the most exploitable attack paths first. The platform processes 9+ trillion indexed data points, 2+ trillion security events per year, and 6+ billion IP scans annually — all with 99.99966% Six Sigma accuracy. It supports a broad spectrum of use cases including VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response), CSPM, CWPP, EDR, SSPM, IaC Security, and Container Security. Qualys holds FedRAMP High authorization, making it suitable for federal agencies and regulated industries. It is ideal for enterprise security teams, CISOs, and risk officers looking to transform reactive security operations into strategic, board-ready risk management.

Key Features
