The new Washington, D.C. office positions Qualys to better serve its public sector clients by providing tailored solutions that address the escalating speed, frequency, and sophistication of threats targeting sensitive data and critical infrastructure. This expansion aligns with Qualys’ mission to enhance cyber resilience for public sector organizations.
Qualys is pioneering a shift from reactive defense to proactive risk management with its Risk Operations Center (ROC) model. The ROC unifies visibility across IT environments, enabling agencies to prioritize critical threats and automate responses at scale. This approach empowers security teams to maximize efficiency, reduce cyber risk, and protect vital assets with fewer resources.
Qualys is in the final stages of achieving FedRAMP High Authorization for its cloud platform, reinforcing its ability to meet stringent government security and compliance standards. The company already supports numerous federal entities, and the D.C. office strengthens its capacity to deliver compliant, high-impact cybersecurity solutions to a broader public sector audience.
“As cyber threats evolve and budgets tighten, agencies need solutions that are not only powerful but also efficient,” said Sumedh Thakar, president and CEO of Qualys. “Opening our Washington, D.C. office is more than just a physical expansion—it reflects our strategic investment in the federal space and our commitment to empowering public sector agencies with the tools they need to reduce cyber risk and increase efficiency.”
The Washington, D.C. office opening follows the success of Qualys’ Public Sector Cyber Risk Conference, highlighting its ongoing dedication to the public sector. As of June 13, 2025, Qualys’ stock (QLYS) is priced at $140.68 USD, reflecting investor confidence in its growth strategy (see the finance card above). This expansion positions Qualys as a key partner for government agencies seeking robust, efficient cybersecurity solutions.
