Is Myota storage immutable?

Yes. Myota is an immutable storage which ensures data remains unchanged once written. Myota also allows operations on that encrypted data without decrypting it – backup restoration can be performed without decryption for example.


Controls such as object lock and other governance controls meant to preserve the integrity of the data are great when used in combination with Myota’s homomorphic immutability, but by themselves, object locking is easily bypassed with Privilege Escalation attacks (https://attack.mitre.org/tactics/TA0111/) – a problem worsened when an organization uses a singular (cloud) root account.
