MessageLabs Email Image Control Service employs multi-layered filtering technologies and image signaturing
to give you a tool to help enforce acceptable usage policy.
Image composition analysis harnesses techniques for facial recognition, body positioning and texture and
flesh tone analysis to generate results that are processed by a complex scoring system to block or pass
images. This approach is especially effective at detecting pornographic images.
- All incoming and outgoing emails are directed through the MessageLabs platform, hosted in secure data centers worldwide
- Images embedded in or attached to an email are scanned to assess their compliance with your acceptable usage policy, local rules and specific requirements
- Any email which triggers a rule is subjected to a range of possible actions, such as ‘block/delete’ and ‘redirect to administrator’
- All email which doesn’t trigger a rule is permitted to pass, with no noticeable delay
- Reports summarizing data collected and actions taken by the service can be generated easily
