About Yubico
Who is Yubico?
Founded in Sweden in 2007, Yubico is a leading manufacturer of hardware security keys. Its YubiKey delivers phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication with nothing more than a tap on a USB port or an NFC reader. Organizations worldwide — including Google, Microsoft and government agencies — rely on it as a standard authentication device.
Founded in Sweden in 2007
Headquartered in Stockholm with offices in California, and listed on the Nasdaq stock market in Sweden.
Co-creator of the FIDO standards
Yubico developed FIDO U2F together with Google and helped drive FIDO2 and WebAuthn through the FIDO Alliance and W3C.
The YubiKey, a global standard
No batteries, no drivers — just plug in or tap. A single key supports FIDO2, OTP, PIV and OpenPGP.
Adopted around the world
From major technology firms to finance, manufacturing and the public sector, the YubiKey is a proven answer to phishing.
Partnership
A partnership with Yubico since 2009
We began promoting the YubiKey in Japan when it was still largely unknown here. Beyond distribution, we provide Japanese-language support, deployment testing, and proposals that combine YubiKeys with our own solutions.
2009
Started sales as an authorized distributor
We signed an authorized distributor agreement with Yubico and began offering YubiKeys in Japan.
Since then
Building a track record across Japan
We have continuously supported YubiKey deployments and provided Japanese-language support for organizations of every size, from government agencies to large enterprises.
Today
Certified as a Gold Partner and E-Commerce Partner
Our sales record, technical capability and certifications have earned us Gold Partner status — the only company in Japan to hold it — as well as E-Commerce Partner status.
Track Record
One of the strongest YubiKey sales records in Japan
For more than 15 years we have delivered YubiKeys to organizations across the public and private sectors. We go beyond distribution, pairing the keys with our own multi-factor authentication solutions for PCs and supporting the entire rollout from a single point of contact.
Ministries and local governments
Central government agencies, local governments and other public sector organizations with the strictest security requirements have adopted our offering.
Major enterprises
We support deployments across manufacturing, telecommunications, finance, IT and many other industries, at companies of every size.
From a single key to company-wide rollouts
Buy one key from our official online store, or roll out company-wide with YubiKey as a Service. We support deployments of any scale.
Three requirements behind our Gold Partner status
Gold Partner is a senior tier in Yubico's partner program. It cannot be obtained simply by reselling products — it is granted only to distributors that meet all three of the following requirements.
- 01
Registered as an authorized distributor
A formal distributor agreement with Yubico and registration as an official partner — something grey-market or unauthorized channels can never satisfy.
- 02
Passed Yubico's certification exams
Passing Yubico's certification exams proves the expertise needed to propose and deploy the products correctly, on both the sales and technical sides.
- 03
Met Yubico's sales targets
Meeting the sales targets Yubico sets — a requirement that can only be satisfied by a sustained record of real deployments.
Gold Partner
A senior tier of the partner program, awarded for both product expertise and a proven sales record.
E-Commerce Partner
A partner authorized by Yubico to sell genuine products through its own online store.
What buying from a Gold Partner means for you
- Every key is a genuine Yubico product — no counterfeit or grey-market risk
- Manufacturer warranty and technical support in Japanese
- Certified staff to help you choose the right model for your use case
- Procurement, deployment and operations handled through one domestic point of contact
