Qualys Voted Best Audit and Vulnerability Solution for the Second Consecutive Year in SC Magazine 2008 Reader’s Trust Awards

SC Magazine Readers and End Users Cast their Votes for the Most Innovative IT Security Vendors

Redwood City, Calif. - April 17, 2008 - Qualys, Inc., the leading provider of on demand IT security risk and compliance management solutions, today announced that its QualysGuard on demand platform was voted Best Audit and Vulnerability Solution for the second consecutive year at the annual SC Awards ceremony, held last week in San Francisco in conjunction with the recent RSA Conference, the world’s leading information security event.

The SC Magazine Reader’s Trust Awards recognize the best products, services and security teams in the industry over the past year as decided by a panel of judges and readers of SC Magazine. The Best Audit and Vulnerability Solution category included a number of vendors in the vulnerability assessment and patch management space, with top honors going to Qualys’ for its flagship Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) QualysGuard solution, the industry’s first on demand platform for security risk and compliance management.

“Qualys represents an example of the security industry’s best in class,” said SC Magazine editor Illena Armstrong. “By voting QualysGuard as the Best Audit and Vulnerability Solution, our readers are attesting to the high regard they hold for Qualys.”

“Being awarded the Best Audit and Vulnerability Solution by SC Magazine readers and end users for the second year in a row is an incredible honor,” said Philippe Courtot, CEO and chairman of Qualys. “One of the significant advantages of the SaaS model for security that Qualys pioneered in 1999 is the ability to quickly respond to customers’ needs or market/technology changes. This, in addition to the ease of deployment SaaS enables, allows us to provide the best security solution to our customers and partners at a cost they can afford.”
