Okta appoints Mathew Graham chief security officer for Asia Pacific

Singapore — Okta, an independent identity provider, has appointed Mathew Graham as chief security officer (CSO) for the Asia-Pacific region. In this role, he will oversee the company’s regional security strategy, focusing on strengthening identity as a critical element of business resilience.

Mathew will work with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders to support the adoption of phishing-resistant authentication, identity governance, and advanced security posture management as organisations adapt to artificial intelligence and evolving cyber threats.

“As AI reshapes the workforce and attackers continue to innovate, the question isn’t just what we’re protecting, it’s who we are trusting,” Mathew explained. 

“I’m excited to help customers go deeper, securing people, systems and digital colleagues with a neutral and extensible identity platform.” 

Stephanie Barnett, vice president and interim GM APJ, ANZ at Okta mentioned how the new appointment comes at a time when organisations in the APAC region are under growing pressure to address rising cyber threats and the opportunities presented by AI. 

“Mathew’s extensive experience in cloud and SaaS security, combined with his ability to partner with executives and boards, makes him ideally placed to help our customers strengthen digital trust and secure the next generation of identities, both human and non-human,” Stephanie said. 

Mathew brings over two decades of experience across government, cloud, and enterprise SaaS security. His career includes leadership roles at Workday, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Salesforce, giving him a broad perspective across the technology stack, from infrastructure to applications.
