Eckoh announced it has been granted a US patent for the transaction security method and system that underpins its CallGuard product. Eckoh already holds an existing patent for its CallGuard On-Site solution. This protects the group’s investment in this technology and strengthens its position in the US, which we expect to be a significant growth opportunity going forward. Data security is a key priority for organisations, especially with the growing number of highprofile security breaches being reported. We believe Eckoh is well-positioned to capitalise on this global opportunity.
