As CEO of Qualys, Courtot has worked with thousands of companies to improve their network security. Qualys pioneered the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) approach in 2000, when it released QualysGuard to deliver security applications through the Web. Customers benefit from the on demand power and flexibility with the SaaS model compared to the traditional enterprise software approach: lower total cost of ownership and the ability to access and manage the application from any Web browser. Now, as companies increasingly adopt cloud computing and the SaaS model, Qualys is committed to securing the cloud with its vision and work with vendors across the industry. Before Qualys, Courtot was the Chairman and CEO of Signio, Chairman and CEO of Verity and Chairman and CEO of cc:Mail. He holds a Masters Degree in Physics from the University of Paris.
