Proven industry veteran joins Opal at a critical time as access governance and identity security become paramount with the explosion of AI agents and services
SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, December 11, 2025—Opal Security, the modern access governance and identity security company trusted by the world’s leading innovators, today announced the appointment of Howard Ting as Chief Executive Officer. Ting joins Opal Security following his highly successful tenure as CEO of Cyberhaven and brings more than two decades of experience scaling iconic cybersecurity and enterprise software companies.
Ting’s appointment comes as Opal Security’s customers rapidly adopt AI agents and AI-driven workflows, reshaping how they must govern access. This shift reflects an industry-wide pattern where managing access across both humans and machines is growing increasingly complex while identity-driven threats escalate. Opal Security’s unified approach to access governance and identity security has emerged as the essential platform for modern organizations facing this new reality. Ting’s leadership will accelerate Opal Security’s mission to help companies secure access intelligently, reduce risk, and empower teams with streamlined, least-privilege security.
“Identity has always been and will continue to be the dominant failure mode of every cybersecurity program, and Opal has built one of the most forward-leaning platforms in the industry,” said Ting. “The team’s focus on usability, automation, and deep security context uniquely positions Opal to solve the biggest challenge every enterprise faces as they rapidly adopt AI. I feel privileged to join Opal at such an important moment for both the company and the broader security community.”
Prior to Cyberhaven, Ting served in executive roles at Redis, Nutanix, and Palo Alto Networks, where he helped drive dramatic growth as these companies transformed their categories. His experience building global teams, scaling go-to-market operations, and leading product-driven organizations will help expand Opal Security’s reach and elevate the company’s execution.
Founded in 2020, Opal Security provides enterprises with a unified control plane for access governance and identity security, centralizing visibility, automating access workflows, and enforcing intelligent, least-privilege controls for all identity types across complex environments. Opal Security is trusted by the world’s leading innovators, including Cloudflare, Databricks, Figma, Notion, Runway, and Scale AI, to modernize how they protect their systems and data. The company has raised $32 million in total funding from Greylock Partners, Battery Ventures, Box Group, and SVCI and is advised by industry luminaries such as Abnormal AI Founder & CEO Evan Reiser, Coinbase CSO Philip Martin, and Datadog CISO Emilio Escobar.
"Howard has a remarkable track record of scaling cybersecurity and enterprise infrastructure companies into category leaders and in multiple cases independent public companies,” said Saam Motamedi, General Partner at Greylock Partners. “Howard is a natural leader and his depth of experience across identity, security, and cloud makes him the perfect addition to the amazing technology and team we’ve built at Opal."
“It’s clear that Opal is in a very dynamic and ascendant category. AI-driven companies are scaling faster than ever, intensifying the need for rigorous, unified access governance across humans, services, and AI agents," said Dharmesh Thakker, General Partner at Battery Ventures. "Howard is the ideal leader to guide Opal Security through this next phase. He has repeatedly built marquee companies with the structure, operational discipline, and long-term vision needed to guide Opal Security through its next stage."
With Ting’s leadership, Opal Security will continue expanding its platform capabilities, strengthening customer partnerships, and scaling operations to meet growing global demand. In addition to his role as CEO, Ting will be joining Opal Security's board of directors. He also serves on the board of Cyberhaven.

FROM OUR Customers:
“At Obsidian, we use Opal to run quarterly access reviews, maintain just-in-time access, and handle access requests to some of our sensitive applications, like AWS. Once we started using Opal’s Risk Layer in AWS, it changed the way we connect to it, which is fantastic. We’re excited to find the time to set up a deeper Terraform integration, along with the API and CLI that Opal built. Overall, Opal has been a great time saver—really helped us out.”
Chris Kennington
Security Engineer, Obsidian
"Opal helps Elastic protect more of our attack surface than we could before with a small but mighty team. Whether we're speeding up workflows with Slack, orchestrating authorization directly from Terraform, or using the API, Opal has helped us do more with less. In the near future, we're excited to implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access for all of our employees who use GitHub, as well as begin to secure LLMs, service accounts, and other NHIs with Opal."
Mandy Andress
CISO, Elastic
"Opal's Access Review module allows us to provide internal and external auditors with the evidence required for multiple compliances, and provides our Privileged Access Reviewers with the necessary information to make meaningful access decisions. Opal's ability to self-host their solution also allows us to host in our own FedRAMP High environment, thus allowing us to utilize all of their capabilities to harden our FedRAMP resources."
Jack Zaldivar, Jr.
Staff Systems Engineer, Databricks
"At Grammarly, Opal enabled us to migrate all access management for over 150 corporate applications and hundreds of production services across two public clouds to a unified employee experience in just a few weeks."
Suha Can
CISO, Grammarly
“Access reviews and access management were a tedious time sink for us at Obsidian before we adopted Opal. But unlike a lot of other security products, Opal is one of those rare products that gives us back time to focus on what matters, which is amazing.”
Alfredo Hickman
CISO, Obsidian
"With Opal, we were able to transition quickly to a self-service access model that supports both JIT and Just-Enough-Access (JEA).
This shift not only streamlined our provisioning workflows but also empowered teams with the right level of access, exactly when needed. Once our access data was centralized in Opal, generating user access reviews became effortless.
Opal has allowed us to scale securely and efficiently — transforming what used to be a time-consuming, error-prone process into an automated, auditable, and compliant system.”

“Access reviews and access management were a tedious time sink for us at Obsidian before we adopted Opal. But unlike a lot of other security products, Opal is one of those rare products that gives us back time to focus on what matters, which is amazing.”

"With Opal, we were able to transition quickly to a self-service access model that supports both JIT and Just-Enough-Access (JEA).
This shift not only streamlined our provisioning workflows but also empowered teams with the right level of access, exactly when needed. Once our access data was centralized in Opal, generating user access reviews became effortless.
Opal has allowed us to scale securely and efficiently — transforming what used to be a time-consuming, error-prone process into an automated, auditable, and compliant system.”

"Opal helps Elastic protect more of our attack surface than we could before with a small but mighty team. Whether we're speeding up workflows with Slack, orchestrating authorization directly from Terraform, or using the API, Opal has helped us do more with less.
In the near future, we're excited to implement Just-in-Time (JIT) access for all of our employees who use GitHub, as well as begin to secure LLMs, service accounts, and other NHIs with Opal."

“At Obsidian, we use Opal to run quarterly access reviews, maintain just-in-time access, and handle access requests to some of our sensitive applications, like AWS.
Once we started using Opal’s Risk Layer in AWS, it changed the way we connect to it, which is fantastic. We’re excited to find the time to set up a deeper Terraform integration, along with the API and CLI that Opal built. Overall, Opal has been a great time saver—really helped us out.”

"Opal's Access Review module allows us to provide internal and external auditors with the evidence required for multiple compliances, and provides our Privileged Access Reviewers with the necessary information to make meaningful access decisions.
Opal's ability to self-host their solution also allows us to host in our own FedRAMP High environment, thus allowing us to utilize all of their capabilities to harden our FedRAMP resources."

"At Grammarly, Opal enabled us to migrate all access management for over 150 corporate applications and hundreds of production services across two public clouds to a unified employee experience in just a few weeks."
