One Agent. Three Platforms. One Console.

Most endpoint monitoring tools require a separate product per OS. Anexet uses one agent architecture across Windows, Linux, and macOS — managed from the same server and console.

Most organisations run a mixed endpoint estate: Windows desktops, Linux developer workstations, and macOS laptops for design or executive teams. Deploying three separate monitoring tools — one per OS — means three consoles, three policy sets, three update cycles, and three support contracts. Operational overhead multiplies; coverage gaps appear at the joins.

Anexet resolves this with a single agent architecture. One agent package per OS, all registered to the same Anexet server and managed from the same Client Console and Administrator Console — both of which now run natively on Linux workstations via Wine, alongside Windows. Security policies, interception rules, and reporting apply uniformly across the fleet. When an incident spans a Windows file server, a Linux workstation, and a MacBook, the investigation lives in one place.

The Standard plan is sufficient to begin. Audio/video monitoring, network traffic interception, USB and printer control, and screen capture are available across all three platforms from the entry tier — the macOS agent now records screen, webcam, and microphone audio the same way the Windows and Linux agents do. Advanced and Premium extend coverage with DLP policies, blocking rules, hardware inventory, and AI-assisted analysis — each tier applies to the same multi-OS fleet.

Why cross-platform coverage matters

  • Unified management

    All OS endpoints appear in one Client Console. Policies, reports, and investigations work across Windows, Linux, and macOS without switching tools.

  • Apple Silicon support

    The macOS agent runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) as well as Intel Macs, from macOS 11.6 and above — no Rosetta dependency.

  • Fully on-premise

    All intercepted data, recordings, and indexes remain on your server. Scinero Software Limited has no access to your data, on any platform.

What the Cross-Platform Agent Covers

Core monitoring and interception capabilities are available across all three platforms from the Standard plan, including full screen, webcam, and audio recording on macOS. Advanced and Premium extend coverage on the same multi-OS fleet.

Windows agents

  • Broadest feature coverage

    Standard

    Windows carries the deepest feature set of the three platforms — every interception channel, blocking policy, and analysis capability is verified here first. See the dedicated Windows Monitoring page for the full breakdown.

  • Widest version range

    Standard

    Support spans Windows XP through 11 on the desktop and Windows Server 2003 through 2022 — the broadest OS version range of the three platforms, useful for fleets with long refresh cycles.

  • Active Directory integration

    Standard

    Agent rights are assigned at the directory-object level via Active Directory, enabling group-based policy deployment across the Windows fleet.

Linux agents

  • Enterprise Linux distributions

    Standard

    Supported distros include Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, Fedora 33, Rosa R12, Astra Linux 1.7, ALT Linux 9.1+, RedOS 7.3+, and AlmaLinux 9+. See the dedicated Linux Employee Monitoring page for the full capability set.

  • Linux console support

    Standard

    Both the Client Console and Administrator Console run on Linux workstations via Wine, giving security teams a fully Linux-based management option without Windows dependency.

  • FreeIPA integration

    Standard

    For Linux-native directory infrastructure, Anexet integrates with FreeIPA — assigning agent rights at the directory-object level, not just individual workstations.

macOS agents

  • Apple Silicon native support

    Standard

    The macOS agent runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3 chips) and Intel Macs — no emulation layer required, from macOS 11.6 (Big Sur). See the dedicated macOS Monitoring page for the full capability set.

  • Screen, webcam, and audio recording

    Standard

    Full audio/video monitoring — screen recording, webcam capture, and microphone/speaker recording — is available on macOS, the same as on Windows and Linux.

  • Same policy framework

    Standard

    Interception, screenshots, network traffic monitoring, and security policies configured in the Administrator Console apply to macOS agents through the same profile mechanism as other platforms.

Unified deployment and management

  • One server for all OS endpoints

    Standard

    The Anexet Data Processing Server and Endpoint Agents Control Server run on Windows Server and manage agents on all three client OS platforms. No separate server per OS.

  • Independent agent update scheduling

    Standard

    Agent updates are deployed on a configurable schedule, independently of server updates — allowing OS-appropriate maintenance windows without disrupting interception continuity.

  • Precise user identification

    Standard

    The agent identifies monitored users precisely regardless of OS, ensuring activity and interception data is attributed correctly across a mixed fleet.

Core monitoring and interception run the same way across Windows, Linux, and macOS. Your implementation team walks through platform-specific setup for your environment during the demo.

On-Premise Deployment — Your Data Stays in Your Infrastructure

The Anexet endpoint agent runs silently in the background on Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations and laptops. On macOS it runs natively on both Intel and Apple Silicon — without emulation. All captured data: intercepted traffic, screen recordings, audio tracks, screenshots, and activity logs — are transmitted over the internal network to the Anexet Data Processing Server inside your own infrastructure. Nothing is uploaded to the vendor or any external service.

Scinero Software Limited, the vendor, has no access to your systems, your endpoints, or any captured data. This on-premise, vendor-no-access architecture makes Anexet viable for organisations under strict data-sovereignty requirements, insider-threat mandates, or regulated industries where third-party access to employee data is restricted.

How Cross-Platform Deployment Works

Four steps from mixed-OS fleet to unified monitoring.

Provision the Anexet server on a Windows Server machine inside your network. One server installation manages agents across all three OS platforms — Windows, Linux, and macOS — up to the supported user count.

1

Deploy the appropriate agent package to each endpoint using your existing distribution method: Group Policy (Windows), package manager (Linux), or MDM / manual install (macOS). All agents register to the same Anexet server.

2

Configure agent profiles in the Administrator Console: assign users or Active Directory / FreeIPA groups, set interception parameters, recording schedules, and update windows. Profiles can differ by OS group if needed.

3

Monitor all endpoints from the single Anexet Client Console. Search intercepted events, review recordings, run cross-platform reports, and manage incidents — Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints appear in one unified view.

4

Provision the Anexet server on a Windows Server machine inside your network. One server installation manages agents across all three OS platforms — Windows, Linux, and macOS — up to the supported user count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Anexet cross-platform agents and multi-OS deployment.

Does one Anexet licence cover multiple operating systems?

Yes. Licences are counted by monitored user, not by OS. A user who works on both a Windows desktop and a macOS laptop counts as one licence; both endpoints run the Anexet agent and report to the same server.

Yes. The Anexet macOS agent runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3) and on Intel Macs. No Rosetta emulation is required. Supported from macOS 11.6 (Big Sur) and above.

Ubuntu 20.04, Debian 11, Fedora 33, Rosa R12, Astra Linux 1.7, ALT Linux 9.1+, RedOS 7.3+, and AlmaLinux 9+. Contact your reseller to confirm support for a distribution not on this list.

Core monitoring and interception capabilities are available across all three platforms, and the macOS agent now records screen, webcam, and microphone audio the same way the Windows and Linux agents do. Setup details differ by platform — for example, the consoles run on Linux via Wine — and your implementation team walks you through the specifics for your environment during the demo.

No. Anexet agents run on Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations and laptops only. There are no mobile agents for iOS or Android.

Yes, Anexet is deployed entirely on your own infrastructure. All collected data — intercepted traffic, recordings, activity logs — remains on your server. Scinero Software Limited, the vendor, has no access to your systems or any captured data, on any platform.

The Standard plan includes the cross-platform agent and core monitoring capabilities across all three platforms. Advanced adds DLP policies, blocking rules, keylogger, and webcam snapshots. Premium adds hardware inventory, AI analysis, and SIEM integration. All tiers apply to the same multi-OS fleet.
