Qualys Invests in ANZ Talent to Accelerate Growth in Region, Strengthening Channel and Customer Success Team
New team members include industry veterans that will advance Qualys’ Risk Operations Centre approach to cyber risk management
Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a leading provider of cloud-based IT, security and compliance solutions, has appointed Ben Brown as the new ANZ channel manager, strengthening its partner ecosystem across Australia and New Zealand to support continued regional growth and customer demand for business-aligned cyber risk management.
In the ANZ region, Qualys supports customers across the government sector, banking and finance, educational institutions, and more, delivered through its Risk Operations Centre (ROC) framework. The company’s channel strategy has centred around enabling partners to deliver Qualys-powered ROC services that empower enterprises to measure, communicate, and eliminate their cyber risk.
As ANZ channel manager, Brown will work closely with the managing director for ANZ, Sam Salehi, to expand and onboard key partners into the managed Risk Operations Centre (mROC) Partner Alliance, building partner capability to deliver ROC-aligned managed risk services that give customers a holistic, business-aligned view of their risk exposure.
“Ben’s appointment comes at a pivotal time as we expand our mROC Partner Alliance community locally, helping partners scale ROC-led managed services and deliver stronger outcomes for customers,” said Sam Salehi, managing director for ANZ at Qualys. “We are looking forward to bringing Ben's deep channel experience and proven track record of building high-performing partner ecosystems to Qualys. He'll be instrumental in accelerating existing partnerships and onboarding new mROC partners as we strengthen our presence across ANZ."
Before joining Qualys, Brown was most recently senior partner manager at Cloudflare, having previously held partner leadership roles at Sumo Logic and CyberArk, bringing over 10 years’ experience building and scaling high-performing channel ecosystems across cybersecurity and cloud.
Brown is joined by fellow new hires – senior security solutions architect, Alex Beheshti, technical account manager, Vishal Pukale, and account executive, Nakisa Rezakhani – expanding Qualys’ local expertise to support customers and partners across the region.
