Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading
provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today
announced Wendy M. Pfeiffer joined
its Board of Directors. Wendy brings more than 20 years of
technology industry and executive leadership to the Qualys

"It is exciting to join the Qualys board at a time when the

well beyond vulnerability management," said Pfeiffer. "As a
technologist, I'm interested in sharing in Qualys' journey to bring
increasing capability, scalability and value to modern IT."
"We are delighted to have Wendy join our board. As the CIO of
Nutanix, she brings in-depth knowledge of the challenges CIOs face
as they work to manage and secure an ever more complex hybrid IT
environment," said Philippe Courtot chairman and CEO of
Qualys. "Her perspective will be invaluable as Qualys delivers its
new Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory app to provide
companies with a single source of truth for their IT environment.

secure what you do not know or cannot see."

where the adoption of the Qualys Cloud Platform and the
introduction of Global IT Asset Discovery and Inventory is gaining
momentum," said Sandra Bergeron,
