Prevalent Appoints Chief Software Architect to Executive Team

WARREN, NJ--(Marketwired - Aug 29, 2017) - Prevalent, Inc., the leader in Third Party Risk Management and Vendor Threat Intelligence, today affirmed its commitment to advancing deeper protection against third party threats with the appointment of Van Ice as Chief Software Architect. In this new executive position, Ice will build on Prevalent's extensive customer and design experience to lead the next generation vision, architecture and strategic roadmap for Prevalent's award-winning third party risk management platform.

"The increasing scale and scope of third party breaches has elevated third party risk to the C-suite and beyond," said Norman Menz, Prevalent CTO and Co-Founder. "Prevalent is committed to leveraging our multi-generation design experience, Fortune 1000 installed base, and continuous threat intelligence and analysis to deliver deeper understanding and protection of a company's complex vendor ecosystem. Van's strategic vision, industry insight and technical leadership will enable us to continue to deliver next generation solutions to real-world threats. We're pleased to welcome Van to our team."

Van Ice brings more than 20 years' experience driving enterprise software innovation and emerging technology design across a broad range of industries. For more than a decade, he was Chief Architect at Archer Technologies, a subsidiary of RSA Security and the leading vendor of Government, Risk and Compliance (GRC) platforms. Under Ice's strategic and technical leadership, his team engineered the development of Archer's eGRC product into the leading solution in the GRC marketplace, offering the depth, breadth and adaptability to manage multi-disciplinary risk across the global enterprise. Prior to Archer, Ice served as senior technical consultant for a variety of firms including Sprint and The Sunflower Group.

According to Van Ice, "Prevalent's passion and commitment to solving customer problems in the most scalable, economical and intelligent way has transformed how enterprises manage third party risk. Prevalent understands that companies, in one way or another, are both customer and vendor, and their approach to risk management is inherently interconnected. I'm excited to play a key role in defining and delivering the next generation of threat protection, analytics and third-party security for enterprises across the globe."
