Qualys Achieves FedRAMP High Authorization for Government Cybersecurity Platform
Qualys has obtained FedRAMP High Authorization for its government platform, enabling federal agencies to access comprehensive cybersecurity solutions for protecting sensitive data and critical systems.
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 an elite group of vendors trusted to support the federal government's most sensitive systems and makes it one of the few cybersecurity platforms offering a full-spectrum security solution at the FedRAMP High level.
The FedRAMP High authorization represents the most rigorous level within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program, aligning with NIST 800-53 High Impact controls. This level is reserved for cloud services that handle the government's most sensitive, unclassified data and are designed to support mission and business critical workloads. The achievement addresses the challenges many federal agencies face with limited staff and fragmented security tools that make cyber risk assessment and management difficult.
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. Thakar emphasized that as threats grow, organizations need unified visibility, scalable automation, and confidence in their security stack, with this milestone demonstrating that the Qualys Government Platform enables customers to efficiently reduce risk and safeguard their most critical assets across public and private sectors.
The Qualys Government Platform offers a unified cyber risk management solution that delivers broad visibility and control across the entire risk surface. The platform includes vulnerability management, compliance, endpoint detection and response, asset inventory, policy enforcement, web application security, and soon cloud-native application protection—all in a single, scalable solution designed to meet the highest federal security standards. Qualys Government Cloud is available on the FedRAMP marketplace, with additional information accessible through the company's blog and public sector solutions resources.
