The iCritical Image Analyser enables organisations to enforce an acceptable email use policy which includes restrictions on the use of company email resources to transmit and receive pornographic image content. By ensuring policy compliance, Image Analyser enables organisations to seriously reduce their exposure to the risks of legal liability, sexual harassment lawsuits, reduced productivity, damaged company image and reputation and blockages to network bandwidth, which could occur as a result of illicit images being disseminated in the workplace.
The solution combines technology, education and monitoring to combat the social issue of inappropriate content being transmitted between individuals:
Chris Gee, Director at iCritical, comments: "Image Analyser takes email security to a whole new level, by offering organisations protection against significant legal and operational threats which could result from individuals transmitting and receiving pornographic material while at work.
"It is a customisable solution, allowing users to define what they deem as acceptable and non-acceptable image content and it is available in either an enforcement mode or monitoring mode. This enables users to choose whether they wish to totally block delivery of suspect image content or copy suspect messages while allowing delivery to the intended recipient.
"Senior management teams in many organisations would be shocked to find out how frequently their networks are being used to carry indecent email images, yet ignorance is not an adequate defence against the potential legal, financial and operational consequences. The risks are just too great to ignore this common workplace issue."
