Myota is a software-defined cyberstorage platform that combines data security with storage optimization. It uses a patented Shard & Spread technology to protect data against ransomware, unauthorized access, and data loss. How it works: - Encrypts data using zero-knowledge encryption that combines classical and quantum-resistant methods - Shards (fragments) the encrypted data into pieces referred to as "digital sand," which are 50% smaller than the original data - Distributes these shards across multiple storage locations of the user's choice (on-premises, cloud, or hybrid) - Because no single location holds a complete or usable copy of the data, the data is rendered unusable to attackers even if one location is compromised Key capabilities: - Ransomware prevention: Data sharding means attackers cannot access or encrypt usable data - Point-in-time recovery: Allows organizations to restore 100% of data to any point in time, including up to one second before an attack, without paying ransom - Storage cost reduction: Shard-based replication reduces total storage footprint by approximately 50%, eliminating fees for transitions, replication, egress, and API calls - Zero Trust Data Resilience: Implements a 3-2-1-1 backup protection model - Zero-knowledge spread: Shards are distributed automatically without traditional overhead Deployment: - Supports on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments - Integrates with existing backup and storage infrastructure including AWS, Azure, Veeam, Cohesity, Commvault, Veritas, NetApp, Pure Storage, Arcserve, and ExaGrid
