“We do see, as we continue to invest in the federal market, good opportunities for us in the next couple of years to accelerate the growth for our federal business from where we are today.”

In context

“Sumedh Thakar (CEO): Yes. Great question. We do have increasing focus on our federal side of the business. As you said, it's not a big part of our business today. But what we're seeing is the federal agencies are also looking for a refresh or really looking for a new approach to managing the risk there, having the same challenges that through any vulnerability findings coming their way. And so when they kind of look at the Qualys platform and our ability to showcase the inventory, one of the management, risk management, and then remediation capabilities, those are really resonating well with them. And so as we recently got on a federal leader, we're getting through the process of getting our program high ready certification completed, which makes us one of the only high-ready platforms for vulnerability and patch management. We do see, as we continue to invest in the federal market, good opportunities for us in the next couple of years to accelerate the growth for our federal business from where we are today.”
