About Blue Hexagon
Blue Hexagon, acquired by Qualys in October 2022, operates in the cybersecurity sector, specializing in AI-driven threat detection for cloud environments. The company developed an agentless security platform that utilizes deep learning models to identify and block a wide range of cyber threats in real time, including zero-day malware and command-and-control activities.
Its primary clients are enterprises that are transitioning to or expanding their operations in the cloud. The platform is designed to protect various cloud workloads, such as virtual machines, containers, and serverless functions, across different cloud service providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The business model is based on providing this security service as a subscription (SaaS). The acquisition by Qualys integrated Blue Hexagon's AI/ML capabilities into Qualys' Cloud Platform, enhancing its Cloud Detection and Response (CDR) offerings. This allows Qualys to provide its customers with more advanced capabilities for detecting and responding to threats within their cloud infrastructure.
