Qualys has acquired the software assets of Spell Security, an endpoint detection and response start-up.
This acquisition further strengthens Qualys’ security and threat research, advances endpoint behavior detection capabilities, and brings rich telemetry to the Qualys Cloud Platform. In addition, Spell’s deep knowledge of threat hunting and adversary techniques provides unique defense capabilities and analysis addressing the multi-vector threats customers are now faced with.
“The entire Spell Security team and I are thrilled to be part of such a pioneering and innovative cybersecurity company. Qualys’ approach to delivering a unified cloud platform with all the information needed for protection, detection and response at your fingertips is well ahead of anything we’ve seen. This groundbreaking approach allows expert Threat Hunters, who are in great demand, to respond more effectively to the most sophisticated attacks. Thus, drastically reducing the time to respond,” said Rajesh Mony, founder and CTO of Spell Security. “We look forward to continuing to bring new technologies and capabilities to the Qualys Cloud Platform and its new integrated Multi-Vector EDR offering.”
As with all Qualys acquisitions, key Spell Security employees have joined Qualys, including founder Rajesh Mony as CTO, Malware Detection Solutions.

The Spell Hunt Platform and hunting reports give Hughes Systique, actionable visibility into our endpoints for malicious activities. With Spell Hunt Reporting, our Infosec team receives the much-needed information to keep our company assets secure. Bringing together asset management, vulnerability risk management and multi-vector EDR into a single console is very powerful. I can’t wait to look at the new Qualys Multi-Vector EDR offering,” said Bhupinder Singh, AVP, Hughes Systique Corporat ..
