Qualys TotalCloud wins Best Cloud Security Solution; Qualys VMDR awarded Best Vulnerability Management Solution for third consecutive year

FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, announced wins in two categories at the 2025 SC Awards Europe. Qualys TotalCloud received the top accolade in the Best Cloud Security Solution category, and for the third consecutive year, Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) earned the Best Vulnerability Management Solution title.

The SC Awards Europe are the longest-running and most prestigious cybersecurity competition, celebrating the industry's top innovators, teams, and solutions. Organized by SC Media, a leading resource for cybersecurity professionals, the awards honor excellence across key areas like threat detection, cloud security, and leadership.

Cementing its leadership position by winning in the Best Vulnerability Management Solution category for the third consecutive year, the SC Awards judges noted Qualys VMDR was a "Strong application – an affordable, holistic solution that flexibly adapts to both SME and enterprise use cases." Qualys VMDR leverages TruRisk-based integrated risk prioritization to enable organizations to address the vulnerabilities that matter most to their business.

"We use Qualys VMDR for effective vulnerability management, benefiting from automated patching and compliance tracking," said Qualys customer, Vikram C., T&S Specialist at Amazon. "We have seen a significant ROI with Qualys… estimated to be around 20-30 percent. It has saved a lot of time and money by allowing us to mitigate issues without user interaction and preventing breaches."

Also recognized in the category of Best Cloud Security Solution, Qualys TotalCloud was described by the judging panel as "An impressive cloud security solution with comprehensive protection, clear cost efficiency, and effective risk management across diverse environments."

"Qualys TotalCloud provides a single, prioritized view of risk. We are using [CIS] standards to harden our clouds, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. We are able to analyze the scans and identify which policies have failed and how we can remediate them. We can customize policies as per our organization's requirements. That is very helpful for us," said Qualys TotalCloud customer, Arshad N. R., Cyber Security Specialist at UBS Financial. "With the TruRisk Insights feature, security has significantly improved. In six months of using it, we see that everything is under control. We've solved many problems related to asset management, cloud configuration, and new asset identification. If an application team has onboarded any cloud asset, we can see that. We have that information now."

Qualys TotalCloud was also recently recognized as an Overall Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass report analyzing Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms (CNAPP).

"We're incredibly proud to be recognized in two categories at the prestigious SC Awards Europe 2025," said Shailesh Athalye, senior vice president of product management at Qualys. "Earning the award for Best Vulnerability Management Solution for the third consecutive year reaffirms that our customer-first approach is enabling organizations to assess, prioritize, and remediate their cyber risk instead of just scanning and detecting them."

"At the same time, being honored for Best Cloud Security Solution with Qualys TotalCloud highlights our broader commitment to comprehensive cyber risk management," said Athalye. "As threats continue to evolve in cloud and container environments, we remain dedicated to helping customers extend their risk management program from code to cloud."
