Qualys has again been named to Inc. Magazine's prestigious Inc. 5000 list , recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in the US. With this accomplishment, Qualys joins the rarified company of enterprises who have appeared on the list multiple consecutive times. The recognized leader in providing on demand IT security risk and compliance solutions for global companies, from SMBs to large enterprises, Qualys has achieved revenue growth of 104 percent over the last three years.
Today Intel announced its plans to acquire McAfee. We
believe this underscores that security is integral to online computing. Tomorrow's computing promises vast
computing resources, including hardware, critical data and applications,
residing in the cloud, enabling people to access the data from web browsers
using the devices of their choosing.
We see this acquisition as another example of the rapid consolidation
taking place in the enterprise software industry as this new world emerges.
This is a great exit for McAfee, as traditional high tech vendors are having an
increasingly harder time competing against SaaS and cloud computing offerings.
We saw McAfee using aggressive pricing against its competitors, such as
Symantec, to steal market share and to be able to show double digit growth.
Obviously, such a strategy was not sustainable. The traditional PC market is now
also threatened by devices like iPad, mobile devices and new free OSes such as Android are gaining in functionality, while enterprise software and
productivity suites are moving into the cloud.
Intel gains security expertise with this acquisition, and it
will be interesting to see what they can do with the traditional McAfee enterprise
software product lines. Intel talks about "hardware-enhanced security to
counter sophisticated threats of tomorrow." With the rise of exciting portable
technologies and devices that improve productivity in the workplace and for
consumers, built-in security makes sense. We look forward to working with Intel
and other companies to work together to keep internet computing secure.

"The Forrester Wave™: Vulnerability Management, Q2
2010" names Qualys "the clear leader" in the report, which evaluated eight of
the top vendors in vulnerability management, scoring them against 53 criteria.
"Qualys leads the pack...on its strategy as well as its execution. Not only did
Qualys pioneer the SaaS hybrid model for vulnerability assessment, but today it
is the largest vulnerability management vendor in terms of revenues."
The report continues: "Today, the QualysGuard cloud delivers vulnerability
assessment, application-level scanning, and configuration compliance auditing,
all from a centralized multitenant architecture. This architecture helps
to deliver scalability and consolidated reporting. Qualys is also one of the
few vendors in this evaluation that has a full-featured configuration
compliance module that provides concrete mappings from a wide list of
regulations to actual IT controls."

"The threat of browser-based attacks is growing and the number of security flaws in browser plug-ins is rising. Users must be aware of their browsers' security and protect themselves from malicious activity," said Avivah Litan, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.

Case study excerpt: "Cisco has now been a Qualys customer for over five years, in a phased deployment that has continued to expand over that time, even though the initial phase of adoption was virtually instantaneous. 'Because of the SaaS model, we were able to begin using QualysGuard immediately, from day one,' says the vulnerability assessment team lead. The external scanning capability of the QualysGuard service kept this customer from having to purchase and deploy external scanning systems. No infrastructure setup was required, nor was there any need to provision connectivity between internal and external networks just to enable external vulnerability scanning."

Qualys today announced the new Patch Report feature in QualysGuard Vulnerability Management. The new reporting feature provides users with actionable patching information for non-security staff such as system administrators and patch management system operators. It includes prioritized lists of patches that need to be applied to a selected set of assets in order to reduce risk, without applying unneeded redundant patches.
"We are excited about using the new QualysGuard Patch report because it will provide a useful tool that improves efficiency in vulnerability remediation and helps ensure that we are patching properly," said Joe Bennett, director of information security for CredAbility, a nonprofit organization offering credit counseling and education. "We do monthly reporting that tracks the remediation of detected vulnerabilities, and now with Patch Report, we can see exactly how many patches we pushed and how many vulnerabilities it remediated."
Patch Report now supports Microsoft and Adobe patches.
