MCAA PARTNERS WITH CYBERSECURITY PIONEER, MYOTA

Words: Mason Contractors

Myota, a leading provider of data security and ransomware prevention software, has partnered with the MCAA to offer unmatched protection for the $33 billion masonry industry. Myota’s patented Shard & Spread™ technology provides complete data security and recovery, safeguarding against all threats including ransomware. This innovative solution dramatically reduces data storage fees, fully offsetting its own cost and making it a smart choice for both security and budget.

“As we begin to roll out GEORGE, the MCAA’s proprietary artificial intelligence system for the masonry industry, we realize security for both our organization and members is paramount. With their zero-trust philosophy that came from Princeton University and is patented globally, their expertise will ensure the masonry industry’s future is secure,” said Dan Kamys, MCAA’s Director of Content. 

Myota offers cutting-edge data protection through its patented Shard & Spread technology. It automatically encrypts data, shards it into useless “digital sand," and distributes these shards across multiple secure storage locations. This process renders data completely unusable to unauthorized entities, ensuring 100% confidentiality. Myota also enables instant data recovery to any point up to one second before an attack, guaranteeing crucial business continuity. Crucially, this innovative CyberStorage solution reduces data storage costs by up to 50%, making its adoption budget-neutral even for organizations facing ballooning IT expenses. 

Gabe Gumbs, President and Chief Product Officer at Myota and a veteran cybersecurity expert with over 25 years of ethical hacking experience, commented on the partnership with MCAA:

“With 1.7 million daily ransomware attacks, MCAA members urgently need robust security,” said Gumbs. “Until now, IT leaders faced increasing security budgets without guaranteed protection. Myota changes this. We’re the only solution eliminating all cyberattack pathways while offsetting our own costs. This means complete security for MCAA members without spending an extra dollar—100% protection that doesn’t compromise.”
