Qualys VMDR Wins at 2025 SC Awards Europe for Best Vulnerability Management Solution
We’re excited to share that Qualys VMDR (Vulnerability Management, Detection, and Response) has won the Best Vulnerability Management Solution for 3 years in row at 2025 SC Awards Europe, recognizing its market-leading innovation and measurable impact in reducing cyber risk for businesses worldwide.
As the attack surface continues to grow and threats become more sophisticated, organizations need more than just visibility—they need action. VMDR delivers exactly that: a complete, risk-based vulnerability management solution that empowers security teams to detect, prioritize, and remediate threats—all from a single platform.
Why Qualys VMDR Won
In 2024, the number of vulnerabilities surged by 39%, making it harder than ever to manage cyber risk. Many tools stop at vulnerability identification. VMDR goes further—prioritizing risk in business context, automating remediation, and helping teams fix what matters most, faster.
Here’s how we set the standard:
- Unmatched Detection Coverage: VMDR detects over 103,000 CVEs, leading the market in both breadth and speed. In fact, 96% of critical or zero-day vulnerabilities were detected by VMDR first—on average, 16 hours ahead of competition.
- Business-Aligned Prioritization: Our proprietary TruRisk™ Scoring Engine uses over 25 threat intelligence feeds and layers in real-time exploitability, asset value, and risk factors like end-of-life software and exposed services.
- Integrated Remediation: From patching to compensating controls, customers can act on findings immediately. In 2024 alone, over 110 million patches were deployed directly from the platform.
Built for Everyone: SMEs to Global Enterprises
Whether you’re a growing a small to medium-sized business (SMB) or a complex global enterprise, VMDR scales with your needs:
- SMBs benefit from simple deployment, affordable pricing, and all-in-one protection with packages like VMDR TruRisk FixIT and ProtectIT.
- Enterprises leverage VMDR to consolidate tool sprawl, improve board-level risk communication, and reduce operational overhead—while remaining audit-ready across frameworks like CISA KEV, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA.
Driving ROI Through Simplicity and Scale
Legacy vulnerability management tools often require heavy infrastructure and siloed add-ons. VMDR is different:
- No costly database scaling or manual patch tracking
- Continuous cloud-based updates, typically every two weeks
- Seamless integration with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow
- Straightforward pricing
And with a 20.6% global market share and 10,000+ customers across 130+ countries, Qualys VMDR is a proven solution trusted by financial institutions, governments, healthcare leaders, and major enterprises worldwide.
The Power of Visibility + Action
“You can’t fix what you can’t see.” VMDR not only gives organizations a unified view of every asset and risk—it gives them the power to fix it, fast.
As Andy Hubbard, Cyber Defense Lead at Aberdeen, puts it:
“We now have close to perfect visibility on our assets and the vulnerabilities on them. You’re able to present a picture to leadership—and technically deliver that remediation as well.”
