With up to 43% of cyberattacks targeting small businesses, the Qualys solution is a SMB- and SME-focused package offering vulnerability, patch and EDR capabilities in AWS Marketplace

Qualys, Inc., a pioneer and leading provider of disruptive cloud-based IT, security, and compliance solutions, today announced the availability of its award-winning VMDR TruRisk, FixIT and ProtectIT capabilities in AWS Marketplace priced and packaged for small-to-medium sized businesses (SMBs) and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs).

AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that makes it easy to find, test, buy and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The Qualys offering will help SMBs and SMEs get the most out of their cybersecurity budgets by reducing cyber risk across their infrastructure and driving business growth.

"The unified workflow of VMDR and Patch Management helps my team to detect, prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities more quickly," said Gregg Neveu, Security Program Director at Act-On Software. "With Qualys security solutions now in AWS Marketplace, I can consolidate all my security solutions in one convenient market for ease of procurement and payment."

The package includes vulnerability, patch and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities. Customers will be able to access three of Qualys' award-winning products via a single engine:

• VMDR TruRisk – Brings the power of Qualys Cloud Platform and the capabilities of VMDR to small and medium-sized businesses.
