Qualys scanning accuracy.
6+ billion scans per year 99.99966% Six Sigma accuracy
"We identified false positives in every scanner but Qualys."
Why accuracy is important
Vulnerability and configuration scanning helps you discover hidden systems and identify vulnerabilities before attackers do. The accuracy of these scans determines how well the results can be used by your IT teams to find and fix your highest-priority security and compliance issues.

Enhance the productivity of IT teams.Protect organizations by closing the window of opportunity for attackers.Validate that IT teams have successfully found and eliminated the highest-risk vulnerabilities.Inaccurate results
Cause IT teams to waste time and resources acting on incorrect reports.Leave organizations exposed to missed vulnerabilities.Misrepresent the true security posture of the organization.
Qualys Accuracy
The Enterprise TruRisk Platform has performed more than 6 billion scans in the past year. Its vulnerability and configuration scans, the most difficult type of scans, consistently exceed Six Sigma 99.99966% accuracy, the industry standard for high quality. This level of accuracy creates a foundation for strong security and reliable compliance that enables you to efficiently zero in on potential risks before you get attacked.
Qualys exceeds Six Sigma
Qualys has achieved Six Sigma for over 10 years straight
The Six Sigma technique is well-suited to improving the quality of vulnerability and configuration scanning necessary for giving organizations continuous, real-time visibility of all of their IT assets. This sophisticated, multi-step process requires commitment across the entire organization to achieve the desired results. Comparing quality levels over time against the volume of scans conducted shows whether a security and compliance solution can be relied upon, especially as the number of IT assets multiply – whether on premises, at endpoints and in clouds.
In the twelve months ending in December 2020, the Enterprise TruRisk Platfor`m performed over 6 billion security and compliance scans, while keeping defect levels low:
The bottom line
Qualys goes beyond simply identifying vulnerabilities; it also helps you download the particular vendor fixes and updates needed to address each vulnerability. This patch-centric approach helps you prioritize which problems to address first and frees you from having to weed through long, repetitive lists of issues.
The impact of Qualys' Six Sigma accuracy is directly reflected in the low rate of issues that get submitted to Qualys Customer Support.
With Qualys’ high accuracy, your teams in charge of securing on-premises infrastructure, cloud infrastructure, endpoints, DevOps, compliance and web apps can each efficiently focus on reducing risk and not just detecting it. There is no security without accuracy.
