Why it matters…
Whether it's classified government surveillance programs, unreleased product specifications, or confidential internal deliberations, organizations lose control of their narrative when information leaks.
For tech companies, early product leaks can undermine launch strategies and competitive advantage. For government agencies, exposed operational details can compromise investigative effectiveness and public trust. For sports organizations, premature disclosure of personnel decisions can disrupt negotiations and relationships.
Each leak causes damage. EchoMark's invisible individualized watermarking is vital to helping organizations identify the source of leaked information and prevent further damage. We enable secure collaboration and accountability in information sharing without disrupting normal day-to-day operations.
