Qualys Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization for Comprehensive Risk Management Platform

Leading cyber risk management company meets the highest federal standard to serve its growing public sector customer base

Qualys, Inc., a leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, announced the Qualys Government Platform has achieved FedRAMP^(R) High Authorization, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). This authorization makes Qualys one of the few cybersecurity platforms offering a full-spectrum security solution at the FedRAMP High level and positions it among an elite group of vendors trusted to support the federal government’s most sensitive systems.

Many federal agencies struggle with limited staff and fragmented security tools, making it hard to assess and manage cyber risk. Qualys addresses this with a unified cyber risk management platform that delivers broad visibility and control across the entire risk surface. Now FedRAMP High Authorized, the Qualys Government Platform offers vulnerability management, compliance, endpoint detection and response (EDR), asset inventory, policy enforcement, web application security, and soon cloud-native application protection – all in a single, scalable solution designed to meet the highest federal security standards.
