Qualys Recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Forrester Wave™ for CNAPP | Qualys
Summary: Forrester's Q1 2026 Wave for Cloud-Native Application Protection Solutions evaluated 14 providers against current offering and strategy criteria, including partner ecosystem and customer feedback, and named Qualys one of only three Leaders. Qualys received the highest possible scores in nine criteria, including CNAPP administrator management, pricing flexibility and transparency, partner ecosystem, agentic AI and copilots, and was one of two vendors scoring 5/5 in both agent-based and agentless cloud workload protection.
Why it matters: Forrester's own guidance to buyers flags that vendors have started silently raising CNAPP prices by unbundling components and charging for them separately, and that customer references reported updates from even larger vendors arriving with unpredictable frequency and quality, often riddled with bugs and regressions.
