FedRAMP High for TotalCloud broadens Qualys’ reach into U.S. federal and other highly regulated customers at a time when the company is already reporting stronger uptake of its automated and AI-based security offerings. The decision to lift full-year revenue and Adjusted EPS guidance reflects internal confidence in the business trajectory, but investors still need to weigh execution risks in federal sales cycles and competition in cloud security platforms.ナラティブの更新 • May 08QLYS: AI Resilient Remediation Focus Will Support Future EPS DurabilityQualys' updated fair value estimate has shifted from about $136 to $107, as analysts recalibrated price targets in light of recent sectorwide target cuts and slightly lower assumptions for long term margins and P/E multiples, even as some still highlight the stock's focus on remediation and patching as a relative strength within cybersecurity.

Launches Agent Val Within Enterprise TruRisk ManagementQualys, Inc. launched Agent Val within Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) to bring safe, agent-led exploit validation and autonomous risk remediation to the Risk Operations Center (ROC). Agent Val represents a fundamental shift in vulnerability and exposure management from assumption-driven prioritization to evidence-based execution, accelerating response, reducing wasted effort, and delivering measurable reductions to cyber risk. Agent Val, powered by TruConfirm, serves as the agentic AI orchestration layer within ETM. It coordinates and identifies high-risk exposures, validates exploitability in production using business context and asset criticality, and feeds confirmed results directly into ETM to drive prioritized remediation and measurable risk reduction with minimal manual effort, shifting security teams from chasing volume to reducing verified risk. Agent Val enables organizations to: Validate real exploitability – Agent Val analyzes exposure signals across assets and determines what should be validated first based on attacker relevance, business context, and exposure. Then, it uses TruConfirm to safely test exploitability in the live environment, providing evidence-based confirmation of whether an exploit path is open, blocked by controls, or unreachable. The result is a 90%+ reduction in remediation noise, so security teams can stop chasing findings that cannot be exploited. Mitigate confirmed risks – Once risk is confirmed, ETM prioritizes that exposure to the top of the remediation queue and extends response beyond patching deployment with mitigation controls and isolation, where patching is not feasible. This enables targeted mitigation to reduce exposure quickly, resulting in 70% faster time-to-remediate on confirmed exploitable findings and allowing engineering teams to prioritize exposures that matter. Prove Risk Reduction—After mitigation, Agent Val runs validation again using TruConfirm to verify that the exploit path is closed, controls are working and risk has been reduced. With over 1,600 CVEs covered, Agent Val provides unmatched coverage with no new sensor footprint required. Teams now have proven exploitability evidence captured for board reporting to show measurable risk reduction. Agent Val, powered by TruConfirm, is included as part of Qualys ETM and is now generally available.ナラティブの更新 • Mar 10QLYS: AI Headline Volatility Will Support Remediation-Focused Cybersecurity DemandThe Analyst Price Target for Qualys has been revised lower by about $5 to reflect updated assumptions on growth, profitability, discount rate, and future P/E, as analysts weigh new AI related competitive headlines against views that core security platforms and Qualys remediation focus remain structurally relevant.

Expands Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) with Built-In Agentic AI Fabric to Include Identity Security, Industry-Specific Threat Prioritization, and Exploit ValidationQualys, Inc. unveiled powerful new capabilities in Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) that strengthen proactive risk management, helping organizations to predict and guard against new and emerging attack vectors in the era of agentic AI. Announced at Qualys' Risk Operations Conference (ROCon) in Houston, the enhancements bolster identity security for both human and non-human identities, improve predictive threat analysis, and provide confirmation of an exposure's exploitability safely, allowing security teams to anticipate and predict cyber risk before a breach happens. The adoption of AI has increased the volume and complexity of attacks, while fueling a surge in non-human and autonomous identities that security teams must manage. As a result, many security teams are stretched thin, struggling to prioritize and respond effectively. Organizations need a proactive, intelligence-driven approach to breach prevention, tailored to their unique risk profile. Qualys ETM delivers this by aligning Identity Risk Posture Management, contextual threat intelligence for prioritization, and exposure exploitability validation with a unified Risk Operation Center (ROC) framework, enabling provable risk reduction at enterprise scale. When combined with TruLens, TruConfirm ensures that remediation efforts are laser-focused on exposures that meaningfully reduce incident likelihood now.Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Sep 30Now 21% undervalued after recent price dropOver the last 90 days, the stock has fallen 8.1% to US$132.

Unveils First Agentic AI-Powered Risk Operations Center Delivering Autonomous Risk ManagementQualys, Inc. unveiled several new Agentic AI capabilities on the Qualys platform. The new AI fabric introduces a marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents delivering real-time risk insights across all attack surfaces, prioritized by business impact. Additionally, it reduces risk and operational costs by autonomously remediating with speed, scale, and accuracy, all while powering a smarter, more efficient Risk Operations Center (ROC). Amid a surge in the volume and sophistication of cyber threats, amplified by the growing complexity of an ever-evolving attack surface, teams are grappling with millions of exposures while lacking the context to map them against business priorities.

Qualys addresses this with Agentic AI--eliminating repetitive tasks and enabling autonomous, risk-focused workflows that empower teams and accelerate protection. Adaptive Risk Remediation AI Agents like the Microsoft Patch Tuesday Lifecycle Agent continuously triangulate prioritized vulnerabilities, correlated remediation techniques, and asset context to drive faster, more transparent risk remediation. This reduces cost and time to close vulnerabilities. Build Your Own AI Agent - Security teams can create custom, no-code, pretrained AI agents tailored to their specific business needs. These agents can be trained to perform specialized tasks autonomously and reused as needed--enabling scalable, repeatable automation for risk management workflows unique to each organization.分析記事 • Aug 04Qualys (NASDAQ:QLYS) Knows How To Allocate Capital EffectivelyWhat are the early trends we should look for to identify a stock that could multiply in value over the long term...お知らせ • Jul 22Qualys, Inc. to Report Q2, 2025 Results on Aug 05, 2025Qualys, Inc. announced that they will report Q2, 2025 results After-Market on Aug 05, 2025Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jul 17President exercised options and sold US$732k worth of stockOn the 14th of July, Sumedh Thakar exercised 7k options at a strike price of around US$25.56 and sold these shares for an average price of US$138 per share.

This update revolutionizes the audit journey through automated efficiencies that drastically cut manual audit preparation time, speed remediation, and ensure organizations remain audit ready at all times. Enterprises are grappling with an increasing compliance burden, with nearly 70% of service organizations subject to at least six frameworks or more regulatory mandates that stretch resources and drive-up costs. Misconfigurations further simplify compliance, often leading to non-compliance and regulatory penalties. Time-consuming tasks like auditing, reporting, and system remediation are prone to human error, underscoring the urgent need for a more efficient, automated approach to managing compliance challenges. Qualys Policy Audit helps organizations avoid security breaches and audit failures by automatically mapping evidence to frameworks like PCI DSS 4.0, DORA, NIST, CMMC and FedRAMP. It includes comprehensive coverage across 450 technologies, over 1,000 out-of-the-box policies and more than 90 frameworks, ensuring continuous compliance and audit readiness while minimizing the risk of audit failures.

Unveils TotalAppSec: New Comprehensive Application Risk Management SolutionQualys, Inc. announced TotalAppSec, its new AI-powered application risk management solution to enable organizations to monitor and mitigate cyber risk from critical web applications and APIs. Qualys TotalAppSec unifies API security, web application scanning, and web malware detection across on-premises to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, providing companies with a comprehensive view of their application security risk and posture. This allows organizations to immediately assess and prioritize their most critical application risks across the entire enterprise and streamlines remediation efforts to quickly reduce their risk. Web applications and APIs have reshaped the digital landscape and significantly contribute to enterprise risk. According to the 2024 Verizon DBIR Report, web applications remain the top entry point for breaches--with 68% of breaches involving the human element and 32% leveraging ransomware attacks, which are frequently delivered through compromised web applications and APIs. Security teams often struggle with disjointed and incomplete risk assessments because application security is treated as a collection of independent layers - web applications, APIs, and the infrastructure that supports them. In contrast, cyber adversaries have been known to chain vulnerabilities across these layers to maximize impact. Furthermore, traditional, siloed security tools fail to provide visibility into business criticality and threat intelligence or address vulnerabilities like API misconfigurations, Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), and sensitive data exposure. A new approach is needed - one that simplifies and consolidates application risk management while aligning security efforts with business priorities. Existing Web Application Security (WAS) customers can contact their respective Technical Account Managers (TAMs) to upgrade to TotalAppSec.お知らせ • Jan 24Qualys, Inc. to Report Q4, 2024 Results on Feb 06, 2025Qualys, Inc. announced that they will report Q4, 2024 results After-Market on Feb 06, 2025Recent Insider Transactions Derivative • Jan 16President exercised options and sold US$762k worth of stockOn the 14th of January, Sumedh Thakar exercised 7k options at a strike price of around US$25.56 and sold these shares for an average price of US$134 per share.

The company still has strong profitability (although profitability has fallen a bit) and a debt-free balance sheet. Qualys' net dollar expansion rate improved to 103%, signaling a potential end to the downward trend, but management expects no material improvements in Q4. Investors with short-term horizons should consider booking quick gains, while long-term investors might want to hold but avoid additional purchases due to valuation concerns. I don't see any indication that a sale of the company will happen. If a deal falls through, Qualys stock may fall as well, which is another reason why it may not be worth buying right now.

ライブニュース • May 15Qualys Secures FedRAMP High Status for TotalCloud as Guidance Rises on Federal DemandQualys received FedRAMP High Authorization for its TotalCloud CNAPP solution, extending the FedRAMP High status of the Qualys Government Platform to cloud workloads. The authorization, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, means TotalCloud is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace for federal agencies, suppliers and highly regulated industries. On its Q1 2026 earnings call, management cited solid operational execution and highlighted increased adoption of autonomous remediation and AI-driven security tools, and raised full-year revenue and Adjusted EPS guidance. FedRAMP High for TotalCloud broadens Qualys’ reach into U.S. federal and other highly regulated customers at a time when the company is already reporting stronger uptake of its automated and AI-based security offerings. The decision to lift full-year revenue and Adjusted EPS guidance reflects internal confidence in the business trajectory, but investors still need to weigh execution risks in federal sales cycles and competition in cloud security platforms.

お知らせ • Mar 23Qualys, Inc. Launches Agent Val Within Enterprise TruRisk ManagementQualys, Inc. launched Agent Val within Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) to bring safe, agent-led exploit validation and autonomous risk remediation to the Risk Operations Center (ROC). Agent Val represents a fundamental shift in vulnerability and exposure management from assumption-driven prioritization to evidence-based execution, accelerating response, reducing wasted effort, and delivering measurable reductions to cyber risk. Agent Val, powered by TruConfirm, serves as the agentic AI orchestration layer within ETM. It coordinates and identifies high-risk exposures, validates exploitability in production using business context and asset criticality, and feeds confirmed results directly into ETM to drive prioritized remediation and measurable risk reduction with minimal manual effort, shifting security teams from chasing volume to reducing verified risk. Agent Val enables organizations to: Validate real exploitability – Agent Val analyzes exposure signals across assets and determines what should be validated first based on attacker relevance, business context, and exposure. Then, it uses TruConfirm to safely test exploitability in the live environment, providing evidence-based confirmation of whether an exploit path is open, blocked by controls, or unreachable. The result is a 90%+ reduction in remediation noise, so security teams can stop chasing findings that cannot be exploited. Mitigate confirmed risks – Once risk is confirmed, ETM prioritizes that exposure to the top of the remediation queue and extends response beyond patching deployment with mitigation controls and isolation, where patching is not feasible. This enables targeted mitigation to reduce exposure quickly, resulting in 70% faster time-to-remediate on confirmed exploitable findings and allowing engineering teams to prioritize exposures that matter. Prove Risk Reduction—After mitigation, Agent Val runs validation again using TruConfirm to verify that the exploit path is closed, controls are working and risk has been reduced. With over 1,600 CVEs covered, Agent Val provides unmatched coverage with no new sensor footprint required. Teams now have proven exploitability evidence captured for board reporting to show measurable risk reduction. Agent Val, powered by TruConfirm, is included as part of Qualys ETM and is now generally available.

お知らせ • Oct 15Qualys, Inc. Expands Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) with Built-In Agentic AI Fabric to Include Identity Security, Industry-Specific Threat Prioritization, and Exploit ValidationQualys, Inc. unveiled powerful new capabilities in Qualys Enterprise TruRisk Management (ETM) that strengthen proactive risk management, helping organizations to predict and guard against new and emerging attack vectors in the era of agentic AI. Announced at Qualys' Risk Operations Conference (ROCon) in Houston, the enhancements bolster identity security for both human and non-human identities, improve predictive threat analysis, and provide confirmation of an exposure's exploitability safely, allowing security teams to anticipate and predict cyber risk before a breach happens. The adoption of AI has increased the volume and complexity of attacks, while fueling a surge in non-human and autonomous identities that security teams must manage. As a result, many security teams are stretched thin, struggling to prioritize and respond effectively. Organizations need a proactive, intelligence-driven approach to breach prevention, tailored to their unique risk profile. Qualys ETM delivers this by aligning Identity Risk Posture Management, contextual threat intelligence for prioritization, and exposure exploitability validation with a unified Risk Operation Center (ROC) framework, enabling provable risk reduction at enterprise scale. When combined with TruLens, TruConfirm ensures that remediation efforts are laser-focused on exposures that meaningfully reduce incident likelihood now.

お知らせ • Aug 05Qualys, Inc. Unveils First Agentic AI-Powered Risk Operations Center Delivering Autonomous Risk ManagementQualys, Inc. unveiled several new Agentic AI capabilities on the Qualys platform. The new AI fabric introduces a marketplace of Cyber Risk AI Agents delivering real-time risk insights across all attack surfaces, prioritized by business impact. Additionally, it reduces risk and operational costs by autonomously remediating with speed, scale, and accuracy, all while powering a smarter, more efficient Risk Operations Center (ROC). Amid a surge in the volume and sophistication of cyber threats, amplified by the growing complexity of an ever-evolving attack surface, teams are grappling with millions of exposures while lacking the context to map them against business priorities. Without self-orchestrating AI agents to turn data into insights, and prioritize and remediate risks in real time, security teams face manual bottlenecks and lingering exposures. Qualys addresses this with Agentic AI--eliminating repetitive tasks and enabling autonomous, risk-focused workflows that empower teams and accelerate protection. Adaptive Risk Remediation AI Agents like the Microsoft Patch Tuesday Lifecycle Agent continuously triangulate prioritized vulnerabilities, correlated remediation techniques, and asset context to drive faster, more transparent risk remediation. This reduces cost and time to close vulnerabilities. Build Your Own AI Agent - Security teams can create custom, no-code, pretrained AI agents tailored to their specific business needs. These agents can be trained to perform specialized tasks autonomously and reused as needed--enabling scalable, repeatable automation for risk management workflows unique to each organization.

お知らせ • Apr 29Qualys, Inc. Expands Platform to Protect Against AI and LLM Model Risk from Development to DeploymentQualys, Inc. announced major updates to its TotalAI solution to secure organizations' complete MLOps pipeline from development to deployment. Organizations will now be able to rapidly test their large language models (LLMs), even during their development testing cycles, with stronger protection against more attacks and on-premises scanning powered by an internal LLM scanner. With the current rush of AI adoption, organizations are moving at an unprecedented pace - often without implementing foundational security controls necessary to manage risk. A recent study revealed 72% of CISOs are concerned generative AI solutions could result in security breaches for their organizations. Enterprises need a better solution to bridge the gap between innovation and secure implementation. TotalAI delivers: Automatic Prioritization of AI Security Risks: Findings are mapped to real-world adversarial tactics with MITRE ATLAS and automatically prioritized through the Qualys TruRisk™? scoring engine, helping security, IT, and MLOps teams zero in on the most business-critical risks. Faster, Safer AI Application Development: With the new internal on-premises LLM scanner, organization can now incorporate comprehensive security testing of their LLM models during development, staging, and deployment - all without ever exposing models externally. This shift-left approach, incorporating security and testing of AI-powered applications into existing CI/CD workflows, strengthens both agility and security posture, while ensuring sensitive models remain protected behind corporate firewalls. Enhanced Defense Against Emerging AI Threats: TotalAI now expands to detect 40 different attack scenarios, including advanced jailbreak techniques, prompt injections and manipulations, multilingual exploits, andias amplification. The expanded scenarios simulate real-world adversarial tactics and strengthen model resilience against exploitation, preventing attackers from manipulating outputs or bypassing safeguards. Protection from Cross-modal Exploits with Multimodal Threat Coverage: TotalAI's enhanced multimodal detection identifies prompts or perturbations hidden inside images, audio, and video files that are designed to manage LLM outputs, helping organizations safeguard against cross-modal exploits.

Qualys Policy Audit helps organizations avoid security breaches and audit failures by automatically mapping evidence to frameworks like PCI DSS 4.0, DORA, NIST, CMMC and FedRAMP. It includes comprehensive coverage across 450 technologies, over 1,000 out-of-the-box policies and more than 90 frameworks, ensuring continuous compliance and audit readiness while minimizing the risk of audit failures. Policy Audit delivers: Continuous Audit Readiness: Policy Compliance automates continuous evidence collection, minimizes human error, and helps monitor audit gaps with a real-time view of organizations' compliance posture. To further mitigate breach exposure, Qualys is also introducing Audit Fix as an optional but powerful addition to Policy Audit. Audit Fix allows users to proactively repair audit findings before they escalate into compliance issues using a library of pre-defined, out-of-the- box scripts and golden policies that integrate into CI/CD pipelines. Customizable remediation workflows integrated into Policy Audit help to significantly reduce breach exposure and accelerate continuous compliance.

お知らせ • Feb 03Qualys, Inc. Unveils TotalAppSec: New Comprehensive Application Risk Management SolutionQualys, Inc. announced TotalAppSec, its new AI-powered application risk management solution to enable organizations to monitor and mitigate cyber risk from critical web applications and APIs. Qualys TotalAppSec unifies API security, web application scanning, and web malware detection across on-premises to hybrid and multi-cloud environments, providing companies with a comprehensive view of their application security risk and posture. This allows organizations to immediately assess and prioritize their most critical application risks across the entire enterprise and streamlines remediation efforts to quickly reduce their risk. Web applications and APIs have reshaped the digital landscape and significantly contribute to enterprise risk. According to the 2024 Verizon DBIR Report, web applications remain the top entry point for breaches--with 68% of breaches involving the human element and 32% leveraging ransomware attacks, which are frequently delivered through compromised web applications and APIs. Security teams often struggle with disjointed and incomplete risk assessments because application security is treated as a collection of independent layers - web applications, APIs, and the infrastructure that supports them. In contrast, cyber adversaries have been known to chain vulnerabilities across these layers to maximize impact. Furthermore, traditional, siloed security tools fail to provide visibility into business criticality and threat intelligence or address vulnerabilities like API misconfigurations, Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), and sensitive data exposure. A new approach is needed - one that simplifies and consolidates application risk management while aligning security efforts with business priorities. Existing Web Application Security (WAS) customers can contact their respective Technical Account Managers (TAMs) to upgrade to TotalAppSec.
