Qualys Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS) announced that its TotalCloud solution achieved FedRAMP High Authorization, sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. The authorization extends the FedRAMP High status of the Qualys Government Platform to include Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform capabilities.

The FedRAMP High Authorization represents the most stringent compliance level within the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program. It aligns with NIST SP 800-53 High Impact controls and enables the platform to handle the government's most sensitive unclassified data.

TotalCloud is now listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace as part of the Qualys Government Platform. The solution provides federal agencies and commercial suppliers with cloud-native security capabilities, including risk-based prioritization, compliance monitoring, threat detection, and attack surface discovery.

"In a world where AI-driven threats are shrinking the time to exploit, achieving FedRAMP High Authorization for TotalCloud underscores Qualys' commitment to mission velocity," said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys.

Federal agencies, contractors, and organizations aligned to NIST SP 800-53 can use the platform to reduce operational risk and accelerate compliance processes. The solution supports organizations requiring visibility and control over cloud workloads through inheritance of pre-validated controls within a shared responsibility model.

The announcement was made in a company press release. Qualys provides cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions to more than 10,000 subscription customers worldwide.
