Qualys, Inc. announced the opening of a new office in Washington, D.C., marking a strategic expansion of its global footprint to better support its growing public sector customer base. Government agencies are facing a perfect storm: shrinking budgets, limited resources, and an expanding threat landscape. From federal to state and local levels, cyberattacks are growing in speed, frequency, and sophistication ?
placing mounting pressure on teams tasked with defending sensitive data and critical infrastructure. To meet this moment, public sector organizations are shifting their approach, from reactive defense to proactive risk management. Qualys is helping lead that shift with the introduction of the Risk Operations Center (ROC) model, which enables agencies to unify visibility, rapidly prioritize the threats that matter most, and automate response at scale.
The ROC empowers security teams to do more with less ?improving cyber resilience while boosting operational efficiency. Building on the momentum of a successful Public Sector Cyber Risk Conference, the expansion reinforces the company's long-standing commitment to serving public sector agencies. Qualys currently supports numerous federal entities and is in the final stages of achieving FedRAMP High Authorization for its cloud platform?further demonstrating its readiness to meet the stringent security and compliance requirements of government customers.
