MessageLabs Email Image Control Service employs multi-layered filtering technologies and state-of-the-art image signaturing to give you complete control over all images contained in your email communications. Sophisticated ICA harnesses facial recognition, body positioning, texture analysis and flesh tone analysis techniques to generate results that are processed by a complex scoring system. The final score produced by this system dictates whether an image is blocked or allowed to pass. 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
  • Every image embedded in or attached to an email is scanned to assess its compliance with your acceptable use 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
