Qualys’ (NASDAQ:QLYS) cybersecurity solution, Qualys Vulnerability Management, Detection and Response (VMDR) was recognized as the Best Vulnerability Management Solution at the SC Awards 2022.
The SC Awards recognize the best solutions involved in the advancement of information security. The best vulnerability management solution category specifically recognizes stand out products in a crowded market that bring results in the monitoring and identification of vulnerabilities based on risk before hackers can use them to compromise systems.
