Infosecurity Europe 2008

Leading content control technology developer Fortium ICA Ltd (www.fortium-ica.com) announced it has licensed and integrated its highly regarded Image Composition Analysis (ICA) anti-pornography engine to PineApp™, Corporation (www.pineapp.com) a global provider of appliance-based solutions for email and network security.

ICA now powers Mail-SeCure(tm) v3.6 providing a potent new solution to eliminate pornography from corporate email systems. Mail-SeCure v3.6 now incorporates new-generation Inappropriate Content Control (ICC) package including Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) database lookup which combines with ICA to make it one of the most effective solutions on the market.

Businesses have a responsibility to protect themselves from liability and investigate all available measures to comply with their human resources policies as well as regulations to avoid employees’ legal suits regarding hostile workplace environments. Pornography remains one of industry’s major concerns as it continues to give rise to exposure of improper content and associated sexual harassment litigation

The inclusion of ICA has enhanced the ICC PineApp offering. “Our Inappropriate Content Control now automatically detects and blocks incoming and outgoing pornographic pictures as well as pictures embedded in PowerPoint presentations, videos and other media. And by using Fortium’s advanced image processing technology, we can help our customers to comply with the required procedures and protect them from legal action,” commented Jacob Fox president and CEO of PineApp Corp. “We selected ICA for its speed and accuracy levels and its cross platform features and are pleased with the results.”

ICA has been the industry’s first choice in image content filtering technology since its launch in 2001 and provides content filtering solutions for the largest information security vendors including MessageLabs’ Image Control (IC), Websense’s Virtual Image Agent (VIA) and Secure Computing’s Secure Mail (Ironmail) Image Analysis Module.

“We are delighted to have been selected by PineApp to power the newly launched Mail-SeCure(tm) solution and it is encouraging to see PineApp’s success in the market place with it,” commented Andrew Brimfield, Business Development Manager, Fortium ICA Ltd.
