The SC Awards Europe are known as the longest-running and most esteemed cybersecurity competition, highlighting the industry's foremost innovators and solutions. Organized by SC Media, the awards recognize excellence across various facets of cybersecurity such as threat detection, leadership, and cloud security solutions.

Qualys TotalCloud was recognized for offering comprehensive protection with clear cost efficiency, and effective risk management across diverse environments. Judging panel remarks highlighted its robust capabilities: "An impressive cloud security solution… that enables organizations to easily manage their risks and streamline compliance approaches."

Qualys VMDR also impressed the judges, being hailed as a "strong application providing an affordable, holistic solution that adapts flexibly to both SME and enterprise needs." This year’s recognition underscores Qualys’s commitment to helping businesses prioritize cybersecurity effectively, ensuring they address their most pressing vulnerabilities.

A customer testimonial from Vikram C., a Technology Specialist at Amazon, reflected on the value of using VMDR, stating, "We have observed a major return on investment estimated at 20-30%, significantly saving time and resources by allowing us to manage issues proactively while preventing potential breaches."

Furthermore, Qualys TotalCloud users have likewise praised its functionality. For example, Arshad N.
