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. Our story ## 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. Our mission ## We believe you should control your data. Not vendors. Not cybercriminals. You. Customer first ### Dedicated to every user as a VIP. We know that being trustworthy in the eyes of our customers and partners is earned through everyday actions and promises kept. Purpose-driven ### Innovation that produces real value. We believe in purpose-driven innovation to produce value that’s meaningful and sustainable — not features for features’ sake. Ingenuity under pressure ### Challenges are a catalyst. We’re committed to recognizing that the hardest problems in cybersecurity are an invitation for inventive thinking, not retreat. Our team ## The people behind Myota. Composed of seasoned professionals with a wealth of experience in cybersecurity, computer science, and entrepreneurship. ![Jim Walker](https://www.myota.io/hubfs/Team%20and%20Advisors/jim-walker-CEO%20HS.png) ### Jim Walker Chief Executive Officer Hover to learn more Chief Executive Officer ### Jim Walker Jim brings over 30 years of leadership experience to Myota.
