"It is exciting to join the Qualys board at a time when the company is significantly expanding the depth of its cloud platform well beyond vulnerability management," said Pfeiffer.

"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.
