Redwood City, Calif. - November 18, 2010 - Qualys®, Inc. the leading provider of on demand IT security risk and compliance management solutions, today announced that Frost & Sullivan has awarded Qualys its 2010 Global Market Share Leadership Award in Vulnerability Assessment. Based on its recent analysis of the market, which included in-depth interviews of customers, partners and vendors along with market analysis, the award recognizes excellence in capturing the highest market share within its industry and highlights Qualys’ innovative strategies that have enabled growth.

The award report states, “Frost & Sullivan’s research shows that Qualys has been able to grow at a rate that far surpasses that of its competitors as a direct result of leadership in multiple areas. Not only is this continued excellence critical for Qualys’ success as a company, but Qualys’ leadership is driving the vulnerability assessment market’s growth as well.”

Frost & Sullivan’s research discusses the following key performance drivers for Qualys:

“SaaS is now rapidly becoming the delivery model of choice for vulnerability management and IT compliance,” said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO of Qualys. “It is thanks to our early adopters and the more recent support of thousands of new customers and partners around the world that Qualys is now recognized as the market leader in this space.”
