PineApp is shipping Mail-SeCure v3.6 with Porn MegaFilter, a new anti-pornography engine that eliminates pornography from corporate e-mail systems.
In addition to Porn MegaFilter, Mail-SeCure v3.6 includes 14 new features and 11 improvements to current features.
"Pornography in the workplace and, especially, in government and educational institutions, is intrusive, offensive and expensive, costing millions of dollars in wasted time and potential sexual harassment lawsuits," explains Jacob Fox, president and CEO of PineApp.
"Our Porn MegaFilter automatically detects and blocks incoming and outgoing pornographic pictures, as well as pictures embedded in PowerPoint presentations, videos and other media. And, by using advanced image processing technologies, we can help our customers to comply with the required procedures and protect them from legal action."
In addition, Porn MegaFilter is allied with Internet Watch Foundation (IWF), a British organisation at the forefront of fighting child pornography, child abuse and paedophilia. IWF maintains and constantly updates its database of child pornography Web sites. This allows Porn MegaFilter to identify e-mail with links to child pornography Web sites, block them and notify the administrator that the link is being sent.
Adam Hils, principal research analyst for SME security at Gartner, commented: "Small and mid-size enterprises must protect themselves from liability. SMEs should investigate all available measures to comply with human resources policies and state regulations to avoid employees` legal suits regarding hostile workplace environments."
Mail-SeCure protects organisations of all sizes, from targeted and non-targeted e-mail-related threats, says PineApp.
Mail-SeCure provides a buffer between the Internet and an organisation`s e-mail systems, using a full pack of perimeter security layers, and inspects all e-mail traffic, according to the company.
It protects the network from known and emerging threats, such as viruses and new-age virus outbreaks, worms and Trojan horses, using a five-layer anti-virus system and an 11-layer multi-technology anti-spam/anti-phishing system.
Existing Mail-SeCure users who wish to add Porn MegaFilter to their Mail-SeCure appliances can download a 30-day free trial from PineApp`s Web site.
