In the 20 years since Passlogy’s founding, its pattern-based authentication software has become a leading solution for major Japanese companies and government agencies. Every day, over one million people use this software to securely access their computer systems both locally and remotely.

“Over the next 20 years, Passlogy will continue to work on the science of patterns to help develop a global information and communication infrastructure that is safe and secure for everyone,” says Hideharu Ogawa, president.

Passlogy donated the pictured torii gate to Kashima Jingu — which enshrines Takemikazuchi, the deity of Japan’s founding and martial arts — to replace the torii that collapsed in the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. •
