Overview

Product Information on Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management?

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management software provides automated discovery, inventory, and classification of IT, cloud, and internet-connected assets within an organization. The software identifies devices across the environment, associates context such as asset ownership and location, and tracks changes to configurations and vulnerabilities. It integrates asset data with security monitoring and compliance workflows to help organizations prioritize remediation efforts and reduce risk exposure. The software delivers visibility into unmanaged or unauthorized assets, supports policy enforcement, and enhances the response to potential cyber threats by allowing organizations to continuously monitor the security posture of their asset landscape.

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management Pricing

Qualys CyberSecurity Asset Management software uses a subscription-based pricing model that is typically structured according to the number of assets managed. Pricing may vary based on the selected modules, asset counts, and chosen features within the software. Organizations are usually charged on a recurring basis, such as annually, based on their usage tier.

FAVORABLE

“Solid hybrid asset solution for ISO/SOC focused even for industrial automations.”

4.0
Nov 30, 2025
While working in a small fast growing product based startup serving in OT and IT and an emerging towards getting certified for ISO and SOC II we believe Qualys will help us a lot in future also, meanwhile till now it has helped us way too much better than any other. As it was deployed on Cloud which mapped the assests over the whole infra with the PLC's and Cloud Infra with Docker Containers and also the automated scan for the web app vuln test was also satisfied as we already minimized the most known vulnerabilty on manual hunt and was left by API Headers as while being on automation audit scans it makes relevently look low on secure dev so we fixed it with the bussiness logics too. Asset discovery and its Benchmark proved really effective for patching.
