May 26, 2009 — New York, NY;
Passlogix Inc. announced today that company founder and CEO Marc Boroditsky is a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2009 Award in the Metro New York region. The awards program recognizes entrepreneurs who demonstrate extraordinary success in the areas of innovation, financial performance and personal commitment to their businesses and communities.
Under Boroditsky’s leadership, Passlogix has become the #1 supplier of enterprise single sign-on (ESSO) technology for managing corporate passwords to improve business productivity, security and regulatory compliance readiness. Today the company’s v-GO™ Access Accelerator Suite provides an integrated set of related solutions for sign-on, authentication and provisioning processes.
Boroditsky was selected as a regional finalist for the awards program by a panel of independent judges. Winners will be announced at a special event on Thursday June 25 at the Marriott Marquis, Times Square, NY.
“Being recognized as a finalist for this award is a real honor, especially when you look at the list for this region. It is very impressive,” Boroditsky said. “Nevertheless, the real reward for me is seeing Passlogix grow, attracting some of the world’s best-known enterprises as our customers, and continuing to solve information access and related identity management problems that these organizations face every day. The credit for that, of course, goes to every employee in the company.”
