FAQs

A stolen MyCena credential is useless to attackers because it is encrypted, segmented, and system-specific. Without MyCena’s decryption process, the credential cannot be reused or exploited.

Yes. Since MyCena credentials are encrypted and never stored in plaintext, brute-force attacks are ineffective. AI-driven credential stuffing is also eliminated because credentials are not reused across systems.

Users log in as usual, but MyCena securely provides encrypted credentials behind the scenes, requiring no changes in user behavior while removing credential-based risks.

MyCena enhances MFA, IAM, and SSO by securing the authentication process with encryption, eliminating reliance on user-managed passwords.

Yes. MyCena eliminates the need for password creation, management, and resets, removing traditional password policies while enhancing security.

Attackers use stolen credentials to move laterally across systems. MyCena prevents credential reuse by ensuring each system requires a unique encrypted credential, blocking unauthorized access beyond a single system.

Yes. MyCena offers scalable security solutions that fit both small businesses and large enterprises with complex access needs.

MyCena enhances MFA by securing the authentication process itself, ensuring access is granted based on encrypted credentials rather than user identity, reducing MFA bypass risks. If a system already has an MFA attaches to it, you can keep it or use MyCena built-in MFA to add an extra layer of security

MyCena eliminates phishing by removing human-managed passwords, ensuring employees cannot be tricked into revealing credentials to attackers. Today attackers don’t hack in—they log in, and MyCena removes this attack vector entirely.

Yes. MyCena’s encryption-based authentication is designed to withstand current and future cryptographic threats, including quantum attacks. By removing human-managed credentials and using advanced encryption techniques, MyCena ensures that quantum computing advancements do not compromise authentication security.

Unlike password managers that store and autofill passwords, MyCena encrypts and segments credentials per system, preventing leaks, resets, and credential-sharing risks. Identity-based security assumes verifying a user’s identity is enough to grant access, creating a single point of failure. MyCena eliminates this risk by requiring encrypted credentials instead of relying on human identity.

MyCena automates credential management, so employees log in as usual without worrying about passwords, ensuring strong security with a frictionless experience.

AI-powered attacks exploit weak passwords and credential reuse—MyCena eliminates this risk by removing human-managed credentials entirely and using Multi-Layer Dynamic Access Encryption Security (ML-DAES), ensuring each system has its own unique encrypted key. Brute-force attacks are ineffective because MyCena credentials are never stored in plaintext.

ML-DAES is MyCena’s patented encryption-based authentication model that removes human-managed passwords. It encrypts credentials at multiple layers, ensuring only authorized users can access specific systems without ever seeing or managing passwords.

Yes. Since users never see, share, or manage credentials, MyCena eliminates insider credential theft and unauthorized access.

Traditional identity-based authentication relies on a single identity for multiple access points. If compromised, it grants attackers full access. MyCena encrypts and segments credentials per system, ensuring one stolen credential cannot be reused across multiple systems.

Password managers store credentials in one central vault, making them a single point of failure. If compromised, all stored credentials are at risk. MyCena encrypts and segments credentials to prevent mass exposure.

Identity-based security assumes that verifying a user’s identity (e.g., username and password) is enough to secure access. However, stolen credentials allow attackers to log in as authorized users, leading to breaches. MyCena eliminates this risk by removing human-managed passwords and using encryption-based authentication.

MyCena encrypts and distributes credentials so users never see, create, or share passwords, eliminating phishing, credential theft, and unauthorized access. By removing human-managed credentials, MyCena prevents lateral movement within networks and blocks AI-driven credential stuffing.

MyCena ensures compliance with GDPR, DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and other regulations by enforcing encrypted authentication and strict access controls, eliminating human-managed credentials to prevent compliance risks.

MyCena ensures strong authentication in regulated industries, protecting sensitive systems and meeting industry standards.

MyCena provides audit-ready logs, compliance dashboards, and automated reports, simplifying verification for security teams and regulators. It aligns with Zero Trust Architecture by ensuring system-specific encrypted credentials.

Yes. MyCena removes password-related vulnerabilities, significantly lowering the risk of breaches and helping companies qualify for lower cyber insurance premiums.

Yes. MyCena removes the primary cause of data breaches—stolen credentials—ensuring compliance and preventing penalties.

MyCena encrypts privileged credentials and automates segmentation, eliminating the risk of credential theft, lateral movement, and unauthorized access to admin accounts, eliminating the risk of administrator account takeover.

 Unlike IAM and PAM, which still rely on human-managed passwords, MyCena eliminates password exposure entirely, ensuring organizations meet compliance without credential-related risks.

MyCena enforces best practices for authentication security, reducing the likelihood of regulatory violations, data breaches, and financial penalties due to credential misuse.

Yes. MyCena aligns with Zero Trust Architecture by enforcing system-specific encrypted credentials.

MyCena enforces best practices for authentication security, reducing the likelihood of regulatory violations, data breaches, and financial penalties due to credential misuse.

Yes. MyCena secures third-party access by encrypting credentials, ensuring vendors and partners cannot expose sensitive business systems.

Yes. MyCena enables custom security policies per region, operation or user, allowing global businesses to meet local compliance laws seamlessly.

MyCena seamlessly integrates with IAM, SSO, PAM, SIEM, SOC, and security analytics platforms, ensuring strong authentication without password management while providing real-time access monitoring. It also supports Active Directory (AD) and EntraID synchronization for automated credential management.

MyCena supports cloud, hybrid, and on-premise deployments, allowing businesses to choose the most secure and flexible implementation for their needs.

No. Employees continue logging in as usual but without seeing, managing, or resetting passwords—enhancing security without disrupting workflows.

MyCena automates credential generation and revocation, ensuring employees and vendors have instant secure access upon onboarding and immediate credential removal upon departure—eliminating security gaps.

Yes. MyCena encrypts privileged credentials, preventing account takeovers, unauthorized access, and privilege escalation attacks.

MyCena is ideal for industries requiring high-security authentication, including finance, healthcare, energy, defense, and critical infrastructure.

Deployment time varies by scale, but MyCena can be fully implemented within days to weeks, ensuring rapid and secure enterprise adoption.
