The present invention is directed to a system, method, and computer-program product for protecting messaging consumers. According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for protecting messaging consumers can be provided. The method can include intercepting a message prior to arrival at a destination, comparing the message to one or more known message structures to determine the message structure, and determining if a message has a valid message structure for the destination. Intercepting a message prior to arrival at a destination may intercepts a message on a queue before the message is consumed by a consumer. Comparing the message to known message structures compares a message to message schemas, for example, XML schema, Java object definition or C structure format.
