Prevalent Appoints Healthcare Risk Management Expert to Leadership Team

Prevalent, Inc., a leader in third-party risk management and vendor threat intelligence, today announced the appointment of Brenda Ferraro as senior director.

In her new role, Ferraro will work closely with Prevalent’s healthcare, legal, financial, and higher education vertical networks to provide collaborative and economical solutions. In addition, she will continue to expand Prevalent’s vertical networks portfolio into additional sectors particularly vulnerable to third-party risk.
