There are two parts. We use Web Application Scanning licenses to constantly assess our websites. When there are any changes on our websites, Qualys checks to see if there is a vulnerability. We use a SecOps/DevOps methodology, so Qualys is integrated into the development cycle. Qualys runs every time we update the site.

Senior Software Developer at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees

I think we have the fastest version, and they always upgrade it. I think it's the $2 or $3-a-month version. They have multiple engines inside it, but it's a site-based service. It is not on-demand, so Qualys will host it. It's the pay as you go service that is on the software-as-a-service. 

We use the DAST, dynamic application scan test.

For some projects, we will need to use this on-premises. It depends on the confidentiality of our project. For other projects, we will also be deploying on the cloud or maybe a hybrid solution as well.  

We are looking forward to having a relationship as a partner with this company and maybe one or two others. We are not just a customer. We have a bunch of freelancers that we are working with in three different companies in Slovenia, Australia, and other countries. We are looking for solutions to make our testing and security checks more affordable.

The demo was mainly centered around vulnerability management. We were looking to find a tool which is able to do vulnerability management for internal assets and web applications which face the Internet and are exposed on it. We want a platform which can do vulnerability assessment for internal assets and also for assets which are published on the internet.

I did this demo for three to six months.
