MyCena gives organisations control of the credentials their people, vendors and AI agents use to sign in. Instead of letting users create and remember passwords, the platform generates an encrypted, segmented credential for each system, delivers it to the device and injects it at login, so users never see or hold it and access can be revoked with one command.
It runs as a software overlay alongside existing IAM, PAM, SSO and MFA tools and is aimed at security teams that need to stop credential sharing, cut off third-party access quickly and show auditors who accessed what.

What MyCena Does
When employees, contractors and vendors create their own credentials, attackers can log in rather than break in. MyCena reverses that ownership: the organisation controls every credential and users do not know them. Long random credentials are far harder to crack than human passwords, and because each system has its own credential, a stolen one opens only that system.
Every credential event, from generation to use and revocation, lands in an audit trail, and the same model applies to service accounts and AI agents as to people.
Products
Credential Generation And Revocation
The core of the platform is for organisations that want to take credentials out of users’ hands. Credentials are generated centrally rather than by users or vendors, nobody sees or shares them, and access for any user or third party can be revoked instantly. It works on desktop and mobile alongside cloud apps, SSO, IAM and PAM.
Directory, MFA And Third-Party Controls
Larger estates can add the controls they need: shared MFA built in, Active Directory and Entra ID integration, centrally governed API access for third parties, IP and device restrictions, credential expiry and support for local applications.
Monitoring And Compliance
Teams that answer to regulators and auditors can add a real-time access monitoring dashboard, automatically generated audit-ready compliance reports, an external API for GRC tools and optional credential auto-rotation. The architecture is built to meet the access control and audit requirements of frameworks including DORA, NIS2, PCI DSS v4.0, ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, CMMC 2.0 and FedRAMP Moderate.
Admin, Vendor, Agent And SSO Protect
The same platform is packaged for specific groups of users. Admin Protect covers privileged administrators, and Vendor Protect covers third-party vendors, BPO and MSP staff, with scoped, revocable API credentials and a log of every vendor access. Agent Protect is for contact centres and outsourced teams, and SSO Protect for the general workforce.
How It Works
MyCena follows a four-step model: generate, distribute, use and control. It installs as an overlay above existing Active Directory infrastructure without changing its schema.
| Component | What it does |
|---|---|
| Generate | The organisation creates encrypted credentials for each system with layered, patented protection. |
| Distribute | Credentials reach the device encrypted, are decrypted locally at connection time and are injected at authentication. The browser cannot save them, and they are never stored in the user’s profile or copied to the clipboard. |
| Use | Users sign in with one click on desktop or mobile. |
| Control | A single command revokes access across all systems, and events are logged in real time. |
| Encryption | ML-DAES applies multi-layered encryption that is quantum-resilient by design. |
Identities And Systems Covered
| Workforce users | SSO Protect and the core platform. |
|---|---|
| Privileged accounts | Admin Protect. |
| Third parties | Vendors, BPO and MSP staff, including third-party API credentials. |
| Service accounts and AI agents | Credentials made visible and owned by the organisation. |
| Protocols and systems | HTTP and HTTPS apps, RDP, SSH, VPN gateways, legacy terminal systems, SaaS and client-server apps. |
| Directories | Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID. |
Agentic AI Capabilities
Agent Credential Control
Every AI credential is generated centrally, with nothing embedded in code. Each agent gets its own credential scoped to exactly what it needs, so a compromised agent stays contained. Optional auto-rotation can rotate these credentials too, without anyone handling them.
Runtime Injection And Revocation
Agent credentials are distributed encrypted and injected at runtime, so agents never hold them in plaintext. One command revokes any agent’s access across every system, and each automated access event is logged with the agent, the system, the time and the location.
