Why Does Myota Chunk Files?

Chunking data files yields multiple information security benefits. Data duplication is a challenge for many organizations to manage, track, secure and store. The Myota platform organically facilitates data deduplication as a first step in our data transformation process - helping customers to eliminate data replication while ensuring compatibility with object storage locations.

Why Does Myota Encrypt Chunked Files?

Myota is designed with a Zero Trust framework at every level. Encrypting each chunk ensures continuous confidentiality and privacy in the event of an attack or compromise.

Why Does Myota Shred the Encrypted Chunks?

By breaking down the chunks into data shards, Myota produces an incremental level of information security while eliminating the need for centralized encryption key management. The unique Myota methodology individually encodes each shard to guarantee end-to-end protection, resiliency, and high availability through a process that is completely transparent to users.

Why Does Myota Spread the Shards?

Dispersion of the encrypted meta and content data occurs through using two distinct algorithms. Myota’s signature “shred and spread” method ensure that there is no single point of failure while assuring protection from quantum and brute force attacks. The original data can only be reconstructed by using a minimum number of shares, which provides resiliency against attacks such as ransomware.

The Results: Fully Protected Data

Built on a platform that combines the tenants of Zero Trust Architecture, Shamir Secret Sharing, immutable redundant storage, and advanced data dispersion, Myota moves data protection resources from static, network-based perimeters to focus on users, assets, and resources, keeping your data safe from attacks.
