Qualys Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization for Government Cybersecurity Platform

Qualys, Inc. has announced that its Qualys Government Platform has achieved FedRAMP High Authorization, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. This authorization positions Qualys among a select group of cybersecurity vendors trusted to support the federal government's most sensitive systems and mission-critical workloads.

The FedRAMP High designation represents the most rigorous authorization level within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, aligning with NIST 800-53 High Impact controls. This level is reserved exclusively for cloud services that handle the government's most sensitive unclassified data, addressing the critical need for robust security in federal operations.

Federal agencies frequently struggle with limited staffing resources and fragmented security tools, making comprehensive cyber risk assessment and management challenging. The Qualys Government Platform addresses these challenges by providing a unified cyber risk management solution that delivers broad visibility and control across the entire risk surface. The platform now offers vulnerability management, compliance, endpoint detection and response, asset inventory, policy enforcement, web application security, and soon cloud-native application protection—all integrated into a single, scalable solution designed to meet the highest federal security standards.

Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys, stated that achieving FedRAMP High Authorization underscores the company's significant investment in best-in-class security and reaffirms its commitment as a trusted partner in advancing the U.S. Federal Government's mission to strengthen cybersecurity. As threats continue to evolve, organizations require unified visibility, scalable automation, and confidence in their security infrastructure, which this milestone demonstrates the platform can provide.

The Qualys Government Cloud is now available through the FedRAMP marketplace, providing government agencies with access to these enhanced security capabilities. Additional information about the platform and its capabilities can be found through various resources, including the company's detailed blog post on FedRAMP High authorization and information about Qualys' Public Sector Solutions.
