Keating has worked at the BBC for nearly 20 years, and is currently the assistant editor on The World at One, PM, Broadcasting House and The World This Weekend on Radio 4.
She added: "In a fractured landscape, where what is true is increasingly harder to ascertain, Today's role in holding power to account and hosting the debates shaping our society is more important than ever."
Keating, who joined the BBC from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, has covered some of the biggest news stories for BBC outlets - including the death of Queen Elizabeth II, general elections and conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran.
"I look forward to working with Amol, Anna, Emma, Justin and Nick, along with the programme's clever and incredibly diligent production team, to ensure Today thrives in the next phase of its evolution," she added.
John McAndrew, the corporation's director of live and daily news, said he hoped her appointment can bring "new audiences across all platforms, while preserving its [Today's] unique heritage and special place in listeners' lives".
