Overview

Image Scanning provides protection from exposure to distasteful images, with no hardware or software purchase or maintenance required. Many organisations recognise the distress that can be suffered by users who innocently open email to find distasteful images attached. Increasingly, organisations recognise that they have a responsibility to minimise these incidents and consequently Altman Technologies provides a filter specifically to address image analysis.

Key features

• Real-time image analysis and filtering
• Scanning of all images, whether embedded or attached within an email
• A quarantine facility for images of a pornographic nature
• Control over filter sensitivity, catering for individual client needs
• Protection of sensitive image assets
• Optional custom notification to administrator, sender, recipient
• Total visibility and real-time control of service via web control panel
• Full logging of all messages in real-time
• Rapid search and audit

When images are scanned their dataflow (shape, colour, texture, etc.) is converted into a digital signature, which is then compared against known pornographic images. If the image is similar to those blacklisted images, the email content is defined as being of a pornographic nature and appropriate action is taken to either delete or quarantine the email.

Key benefits

• Stop inappropriate images before they reach local networks
• Managed service 24 x 7; no hardware, no software, no maintenance, lower costs
• Total visibility, reporting, audit and control of service via web control panel
