The same way a human eye can recognize sexual imagery by certain shapes and colors, Image Analyzer can scan for the angles and ratios found in those shapes and the hues and tones of those colors.

However innocent the message body or the sender may seem – if there's pornographic content, we'll see it.

Image Analyzer sets a risk rating for each image – the higher the rating, the more likely that image contains sexually explicit material.

You can choose a sensitivity appropriate to your risk profile – say a high sensitivity for a third sector organization or school and a low sensitivity for a swimwear manufacturer.

Image Analyzer stores every email that exceeds your risk threshold so you can see every detected image in the precise context that it was sent. You can view each email and each image and forward them to the appropriate manager or compliance officer for further action.

Our viewer gives you quick and simple access to every message so you can quickly identify potential issues and our file-based store is designed to scale easily to every conceivable need.

Image Analyzer can take a variety of actions when an image exceeds your pre-set threshold. You can opt to hold the email in our quarantine store until it’s been approved by an administrator, block delivery indefinitely, notify a third party or add a disclaimer indicating that the email may have broken your acceptable usage policy.

You can also opt to take any sensible combinations of the above, but whatever you do, any email exceeding the threshold is held in our long term store for as long as you think it should be.

Create conditions and exceptions using the sender or recipient’s Active Directory attributes that define the exact emails you want to check. Check all emails sent by your customer facing staff or all emails to more vulnerable people for example, but exclude emails from board members that require immediate transmission on every occasion.

Use attributes like OU and Group membership, or even specific personal attributes to create rules as simple or complex as your needs demand.

Policies let you match your rules to your actions. Sometimes it may be appropriate to block or quarantine an email and other times, it may be more appropriate to just disclaim it. You can create just as many policies as you need in the knowledge that each will be applied to every email passing through your Exchange server.

For example, some of our customers create high sensitivity policies that are applied to a specific Active Directory group containing those that have previously transgressed their AUP.

Pick your policy from our comprehensive list of email protection scenarios and go – our first use wizard provides everything you need in a few quick steps.

We don't require any changes to Exchange or unstable add-ins for Outlook: we've designed the rollout process to be as simple as 'next, next, finish.'
