Qualys (QLYS) Stock
Cloud security company for enterprise vulnerability and compliance. Here's the price, business snapshot, and what's worth knowing about Qualys in October 2026.
Qualys, Inc. (QLYS) is a cloud-native cybersecurity company that provides continuous monitoring, vulnerability management, compliance and asset discovery services to enterprise customers. Its platform uses lightweight agents and cloud processing to scan on‑premises and cloud infrastructure, helping organisations identify exposures and meet regulatory requirements. The company operates a subscription model with recurring revenue, supporting more predictable cash flows and a global customer base; market capitalisation is about $4.76 billion. Investors often watch Qualys for its software margins, product innovation and potential to cross-sell into broader security and IT operations, but it faces competition from specialist and larger peers such as CrowdStrike, Tenable and Rapid7. Growth depends on enterprise security budgets, innovation and integration with cloud ecosystems, while execution, pricing pressure and technological change are key risks.
