Qualys Named Finalist for Five SC Magazine Europe Awards

SLOUGH, BERKSHIRE - 28 FEBRUARY 2011 - Qualys® Ltd., the leading provider of on demand IT security risk and compliance management solutions, today announced that the company has been named a finalist in five categories of this year’s SC Magazine Europe Awards programme:

• Best SME Security Solution
• Best Enterprise Security Solution
• Information Security Product of the Year
• Information Security Vendor of the Year
• CEO of the Year

“Qualys has had an exciting year, and we are pleased to recognize them as a finalist in five categories,” said Paul Fisher, editor of SC Magazine Europe. “With some major acquisitions in 2010 we have been left with fewer names in the industry, however it’s also reassuring to see more new brands entering the awards this year ensuring that the information security sector remains as buoyant as ever.“

“It is an honour to be acknowledged by readers of SC Magazine and the judging panel in five categories this year,” said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys. “Such recognition would not have been possible without the support of our many customers and partners who helped us pioneer the Security as a Service model and our engineers who worked hard to deliver our suite of IT security and compliance solutions.”

Featured on the SC website, the shortlist details the 25 awards, which will be announced at SC Magazine’s gala dinner held at the London Hilton on 19 April 2011.
