Image Analyzer

The image analyzer scans images in messages for illicit material. The image analyzer can be configured to check images of all different sizes. It is not enabled by default. Image Analyzer services are an additional service requiring an additional license to be purchased. Please contact GWAVA sales to acquire the Image Analyzer license.

By default, the Image Analyzer is configured to flag any image of any size that matches a score level defined by sensitivity and then violates a threshold. The Image Analyzer scores images based on different criteria including skin tone colors, shapes, etc. all combined to generate the score. The sensitivity determines the detected criteria and therefore the score, while the threshold dictates at what score the message triggers action.

As with the other filters, the image analyzer can be set to block, quarantine, or notify, or all the above.
