Credential Security Impact Pre- vs. Post- MyCena®

The following table illustrates the tangible security and operational improvements organizations can expect when transitioning from traditional, human-managed credentials to MyCena®’s encrypted, invisible access control model. By eliminating password visibility and introducing segmentation, real- time logging, and automated credential management, MyCena® drastically reduces breach exposure, operational burden, and compliance risk—transforming credential security from a liability into a strategic asset.

Control Dimension Pre-MyCena® Post-MyCena® Change Impact
Credential Attack Surface High (all users and third parties type/store credentials) Minimal (credentials not typed/stored) Critical substantial reduction in attack surface
Credential Visibility Visible to users and attackers Invisible to users and attackers Eliminated exposure
Password Sharing Credentials are visible and shared Credentials are encrypted and bound to users/systems Prevents sharing, selling, leaks and other misuse
Password Reset Frequent resets (50–100/month per 1,000 users) Near-zero resets (automated delivery) Saves IT time and costs attached to resets. Improves labour uptime and productivity.
Access Segmentation Flat access—no separation by role or function Sensitivity-based zones (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and access air-gapped Lateral movement blocked.
Multi-Factor Authentication After password is phished, MFA is easy to find (online tutorials) Added on top of MyCena® for even greater security Stronger defence
Credential Revocation Speed Manual via ticket (hours/days) Instant (real-time deactivation) Rapid response to threats
Audit & Monitoring Capability Limited access logs and delayed insights Real-time access logs + dashboards Enables fast, accurate auditing, instant insight
Phishing Protection Low—Users can be tricked High—Users don’t know credentials so can’t be phished Prevents credential-based attacks (over 90% of all breaches)
Risk of Credential Breach High (4–6% chance annually) — #1 breach vector Close to zero Lowers overall breach probability substantially
Incident Response Time 3–5 days on average Under 24 hours with visibility and control Faster containment and recovery
