Built by operators.
Run by operators.
GreenHat was founded by Anthony Green on a simple observation: the best security advice comes from people who have built programs, taught teams, managed risk, and carried responsibility when the work had to operate in the real world.
From operator to educator to founder.
GreenHat started when Anthony Green saw the same pattern repeatedly: companies needed security leaders who could translate between executives, engineers, auditors, customers, and regulators. They did not need another binder of policy language that nobody owned after the meeting ended.
Anthony has spent more than a decade in cybersecurity across security operations, compliance, education, community leadership, and entrepreneurship. His work includes building the security operations and compliance program at CPABC, leading academic cybersecurity programs at UBC Extended Learning, and helping shape governance, risk, and compliance curriculum at Vancouver Community College.
Today, GreenHat operates as three distinct pillars: a boutique security advisory practice, GreenHat Labs for security and compliance tooling, and a separately governed assurance path for independent SOC 2 audits.
Anthony Green
Founder, CISO, educator, and cybersecurity community leader
Anthony is the founder of GreenHat Security and an award-winning cybersecurity leader whose work spans security operations, GRC, AI governance, professional education, and community building.
He founded GreenHat to give companies access to practical security leadership without losing the judgment, teaching mindset, and operating discipline that make security programs survive contact with real business pressure.
Security leadership shaped by program ownership, teaching, and community service.
Anthony's background matters because GreenHat clients are usually under real pressure: enterprise customers are asking harder security questions, investors want evidence, boards need a clear risk story, and teams need someone who can turn security into work that actually gets done.

Academic cybersecurity leadership
Anthony leads and teaches cybersecurity strategy, risk, and program management content through UBC Extended Learning. He has also helped build cybersecurity curriculum for Vancouver Community College and has instructed through Rogers Cybersecure Catalyst at Toronto Metropolitan University.
Security program ownership
At Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC), Anthony created and managed the security operations and compliance program, giving him direct experience with the practical work behind governance, awareness, vendors, risk, and executive reporting.
Community and ecosystem leadership
Anthony served through three years of executive leadership with ISACA Vancouver, including as president and immediate past president. During that period, the chapter grew after COVID into Western Canada's largest cybersecurity community and later received global chapter recognition from ISACA.
National and AI governance work
Anthony serves as Western Canada Ambassador for In-Sec-M, the Canadian Cybersecurity Cluster, and advises on the AI Ethics Advisory Panel for the Digital Governance Council. That work keeps GreenHat connected to Canadian cyber companies, AI governance, and market development.
Public recognition tied to the same work GreenHat does for clients.
Awards are not the point of the company, but they are useful proof that Anthony's work is visible outside the GreenHat website: education, security program leadership, AI ethics, community service, and practical cybersecurity communication.

Three pillars. Clear boundaries.
Each pillar operates with defined scope and independence. Advisory doesn't influence audits. Products serve all clients equally.
