Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys, expressed enthusiasm about the company’s performance, stating that the increasing adoption of their AI-native Risk Operations Center reflects the growing demand for effective risk management solutions that not only identify but also rectify security vulnerabilities. He emphasized that this significant revenue growth affirms Qualys’s favorable position in pre-breach risk management and highlights their commitment to long-term expansion.

Business Developments

Qualys has also introduced a groundbreaking product, InstaScan, as part of its Enterprise TruRisk Management offering. InstaScan facilitates immediate vulnerability detection following advisory disclosures, thereby closing the previously widespread multi-day detection gap associated with traditional scanning methods. It achieves this by continuously correlating new advisories with existing telemetry on assets, exposures, and threats, allowing organizations to validate and remedy vulnerabilities proactively.

Furthermore, improvements to the TruRisk Eliminate capabilities were launched, incorporating features such as AI-powered Patch Reliability Scoring and autonomous remediation techniques. These enhancements enable organizations to swiftly address zero-day vulnerabilities while optimizing operational stability.

Recognition in the Industry

Qualys has garnered recognition from leading independent analysts, earning top honors across various categories. Notable highlights include:

• - The highest score in the 2026 Forrester Wave for Proactive Security Platforms.
• - Being named a Leader in IDC’s MarketScape for Worldwide DAST.
• - Achieving a Champion status in the Info-Tech Research Group for Vulnerability Management.
• - Recognition as a Leader in Frost and Sullivan Radar for Cloud Workload Protection Platforms.

Looking ahead, Qualys has adjusted its revenue guidance for the fourth quarter and full year of 2026. The projected revenue for Q4 is between $191.0 million to $193.0 million, indicating a 9% to 10% growth over Q4 2025. Full-year estimates now range from $736.9 million to $738.9 million, reflecting an overall growth of 10% from the previous year. This guidance indicates a solid foundation for the organization as it continues to navigate the evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
