About Myota

        Born in a research lab.
        Built for the front lines.

        Myota was founded by cybersecurity veterans, computer science engineers, and serial entrepreneurs with the belief that you should control your data — not vendors or cybercriminals.

        Resiliency Without Redundancy.

        In an era where ransom attacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication, system outages have become more significant, and the specter of AI-driven errors looms, the assumption that data infrastructure can be trusted is demonstrably wrong.

        Consider the vulnerability of data backup. With 96% of attacks now explicitly targeting backup repositories, successful compromise of passive backups occurs in over 57% of incidents. The traditional "3-2-1" strategy has become a costly liability. Organizations now face a dangerous irony: by relying on redundant copies across various media, they are paying a premium to multiply their own attack surface.

        Born in the research labs at Princeton University, Myota's Shard and Spread™ cyberstorage technology has introduced a fundamental shift in how we protect data and ensure data availability in the face of attack, outage, and errors. By shifting from a focus on post-attack recovery to one of architectural immunity, Myota is changing the way enterprise data is protected.

        Myota has never experienced a successful data breach or ransom-induced loss.
        All Myota recoveries have been successful and instant.

        We believe you should control your data.

        Not vendors. Not cybercriminals. You.

        We're committed to recognizing that the hardest problems in cybersecurity are an invitation for inventive thinking, not retreat.
