Redefining Authentication with Encrypted Access

The Future of Access Security

90% of breaches start with logins. Why? Because passwords, identities, and tokens are easy to steal—especially with AI-driven attacks, exposing entire networks.
MyCena changes the equation. Our patented ML-DAES technology is the first to separate identity from authentication, replacing human-managed credentials with encrypted access keys. Employees never see, share, or handle passwords—eliminating the weakest link in your security chain.

From Passwords Nightmares…to the Birth of MyCena
A mathematical solution

When MyCena co-founder Julia O’Toole saw that identification and authentication were two fundamentally different equations — for example presenting your passport at border control versus using a key to unlock your front door —she realizes that mixing identity with access was the reason behind most breaches.
After years of struggling to manage her own passwords, Julia O’Toole had a breakthrough during a visit to the ancient Greek city of Mycenae, known for its layered defenses. Standing beneath the city’s impressive Lion’s Gate, she saw how digital security could follow the same principle. Combining mathematics with neuroscience, MyCena®’s Multi-Layer Dynamic Access Encryption System (ML-DAES) was born to replace vulnerable identity-based credentials and points of failure with dynamic, multi-layered encrypted authentication.
