Email-borne pornography and sexually harassing images bring risk of lawsuits and embarrassing publicity. Plus, they steal away the productivity of your employees—and, in some cases, something even more important, their dignity. To call attention to this challenge, and a potential solution, this month Sendmail shines its “App of the Month” spotlight on the Image Analyzer application. Image Analyzer is a mail filter application for Sentrion that provides the most powerful detection technologies available to keep porn out of your email system, and out of your employees’ work lives.
Unfortunately pornographic images are notoriously difficult to filter compared to malware signatures, unwanted file formats, or suspicious text patterns – until now. Image Analyzer offers the ability for enterprises to automate the task of effectively filtering email —keeping legitimate images in the email stream, filtering out the bad ones, and freeing up administrative time. Image Analyzer multi-threaded analysis isolates areas of the image that fall within the range of human skin tones, and then applies artificial intelligence to evaluate body size, curvature, and edge. This compositional analysis produces a much more accurate score of the probability that an image is pornographic, and keeps out of the employee’s inbox.
