MyCena Unphishable Access

The problem hiding in plain sight

The keys to your organisation are in the wrong hands.

Every day, thousands of employees, contractors, vendors, and third-party systems access your organisation using credentials they created, they control, and they may keep long after they leave. The organisation decides who gets access. Everyone else decides how that access is held.

That is not a security failure. That is the design.

And it is the reason attackers don’t break in. They log in.

From Passwords Nightmares…to the Birth of MyCena

The question nobody thought to ask

Who is making the keys to your organisation?

In the physical world, nobody would ask an employee that question. The answer is obvious — the organisation makes the keys, not the people who use them.

In the digital world, we forgot to ask. So every employee, contractor, and vendor answered for themselves. Millions of keys, made by millions of hands, for systems nobody fully controls.

The moment you ask who is making the keys, the answer to the security problem becomes obvious.

The place behind the name

Ancient wisdom, modern technology.

Every day for decades, co-founder Julia O’Toole struggled with password resets. She looked at every tool on the market. None of them solved the problem — they all put every credential behind a single point of failure. It was a problem she couldn’t solve until she visited the ancient Greek city of Mycenae. She saw how the Mycenaeans had protected their city for 500 years using layering, segmentation, and fortification. Walking past the Lion’s Gate, she had a pin-drop moment. She saw how that same mathematical model could separate identity from credentials.

That is how MyCena was born.

Using maths to win.

Why the right maths outlasts AI and quantum threats.

Cyberattacks are not a technology problem. They are a maths problem. And today, the mathematics favours the attacker. Users know the credential. They can give it away. Attackers steal one and travel laterally inside an organisation and their supply chain.

MyCena inverts that equation. When the organisation controls every key and no user knows any credential, it can have millions of credentials — as long, as numerous, as layered as needed — that no one sees. The attacker’s leverage disappears. AI scams can’t steal something users don’t know. Quantum can crack a human password in seconds — but random credentials of indefinite length can take years to break. And if somehow one is reached, it opens one system only. The attacker starts again from scratch for every door they want to open.

MyCena doesn’t break AI or quantum computing. It breaks the economics of AI and quantum attacks.

Our mission and vision

The foundation enabling a safer world.

Technology has brought the world extraordinary progress. The connectivity, the speed, infinite possibilities. But progress has consistently moved faster than security. WannaCry paralysed hospitals across 150 countries. NotPetya caused $10 billion in damage in days. A single cyber-attack on a global payments system could cost the world economy $3.5 trillion over five years, according to 2023 modelling from Lloyd’s of London. These are not accidents. They are the direct consequence of a design that put users in control of the keys, not organisations.

MyCena gives organisations full control of their credentials today — so they can embrace AI, harness quantum, and whatever comes next, and make security the foundation of technology advancements.
