QLYS

Qualys, Inc.

A cloud-based cybersecurity company whose TruRisk platform helps more than ten thousand organizations spot security weaknesses and stay compliant across their networks, cloud setups, and mobile devices. Founded in 1999 by two French engineers and built around an early "security as a service" idea, it was one of the first companies to scan networks over the web instead of installing software on-site. The name is widely read as a blend of "quality" and "analysis" — fitting for a firm whose whole job is digging up hidden flaws.
