In the increasingly virtual workplace, ease of communication is important to ensure effective collaboration between employees. Chat is taking over email as the preferred form of communication in many organizations. Employers rely on team tools such as Slack to get work done. Slack is growing at 67% year-over-year in the large enterprise segment. Ensuring all aspects of the virtual work environment are inclusive and safe is a priority for many organizations. Sharing images can be a powerful way to effectively convey concepts and thoughts. There are many popular ways to analyze text, but images present a different challenge. Organizations need a way to detect and react to posted images that violate company guidelines.
