EchoMark, the startup pioneering a new approach to information protection, announced today the public launch of their AI-driven solution to keep private information private. EchoMark embeds invisible forensic watermarks in emails and documents automatically, allowing for source identification in minutes. EchoMark’s invisible watermarking is a proactive deterrent against leaks because it is the only enterprise-grade software of its sort.
EchoMark has announced a $10 million seed investment led by Craft Ventures, driving the company’s mission to spread its forensic watermarking solutions across formats and workloads.
Even within the most advanced organisations, the frequency and severity of data breaches and leaks has eroded the foundation of online communication. Insider threat incidences have increased by 44% in the last two years, with a single data breach now costing an average of $4.45 million. By the year “2025, insider risk will cause 50% of organisations to adopt formal programmes to manage it, up from 10% today.”
“EchoMark is not just filling a critical and urgent market gap; we’re creating a solution that has never existed before,” stated Troy Batterberry, EchoMark’s founder and CEO. “Communication is the foundation of any organisation, and when people lose trust in it, the entire structure crumbles, with far-reaching consequences.” Consider the Dobbs leak: after a year, 126 official interviews, and a 23-page inquiry report, the Supreme Court is still unable to identify the internal source, destroying trust both within and among citizens. In less than five minutes, EchoMark could have confidently identified the source. We’re overjoyed to be able to publicly deliver these capabilities to organisations all over the world.”
The Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution from EchoMark redefines data security. It seamlessly protects information while fostering trust and allowing for free cooperation in any organisation. It’s easy to use EchoMark:
- Instantly deploy security without interfering with anyone or anything: EchoMark can be installed in less than five minutes with no content disturbance, end-user training, or human inputs. It works in the background, easily integrating with major email systems (no client software required) and injecting personalised forensic watermarks on emails and PDFs.
- Customise privacy settings to improve operations: EchoMark settings customise the solution to various cohorts, use cases, and demands, facilitating productive communication while protecting operations. In addition to invisible watermarking, an organisation can use visible watermarks to signal the presence of the technology and inhibit leaks, boosting internal stewardship and confidence.
- Within five minutes, identify the source: EchoMark’s AI-powered forensic watermark technology quickly and decisively pinpoints potential insider threats and enables speedy action by uploading tainted data and commencing the procedure. EchoMark achieves near-perfect accuracy in spotting inside threats with powerful natural language analysis and copy/paste detection, even in circumstances of document modifications ranging from screenshots to human rewrites. EchoMark removes the need for lengthy internal investigations.
EchoMark is used by leading organisations, such as Christie’s, a global auction house, and Craft Ventures, a venture capital firm, to protect and enhance their private conversations.
Ben Gore, Christie’s Chief Operating Officer, stated that the company has “long been committed to securing the privacy and protection of our clients’ information.” “We are excited to investigate the possibilities that EchoMark’s solution offers. We are constantly looking for new and innovative technologies that can enhance our already robust protocols.”
According to Brian Murray, partner and COO at Craft Ventures, “EchoMark’s application of computer vision and perturbation technology is creating a new standard in information security.” Businesses and organisations now have precise visibility into their information security, and a new, all-knowing deterrent stops bad actors in their tracks. It’s a beautiful use of modern technology to address one of the most difficult and expensive problems the company is currently facing.
