Files leave through the simplest channels: a flash drive, a print-out, a copy-paste. Removable media, printing, clipboard and Bluetooth are logged and controlled.

USB drives, printers, the clipboard, and Bluetooth are the everyday paths sensitive data takes off a workstation — and the ones perimeter tools never see.
A confidential file copied to a flash drive, sent to a network printer, or pasted into a personal note never touches the corporate gateway. Anexet watches these local channels directly on the endpoint, so every copy, print job, and transfer is recorded with the user and timestamp behind it.
Each external device is audited as it is connected, every printed document is captured, and clipboard content is logged — across Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations, with no agent on personal phones.
From the Advanced plan, blocking policies turn that visibility into control: writes to USB, print jobs, clipboard paste, and file transfers can be stopped the moment they match a rule, while everything stays searchable as evidence in the Client Console.
Local device, print, and clipboard activity is recorded on the workstation — no network gateway sees it.
Files written to USB, documents sent to print, and clipboard content tied to a user and a moment in time.
Standard captures the activity; Advanced adds blocking of USB writes, printing, clipboard, and transfers.
Every removable-media, printing, and clipboard channel below is captured on the endpoint and can be brought under policy.
Files copied to and from USB storage, with a full audit of each device as it is connected.
Serial and parallel port devices tracked alongside USB for complete removable-media visibility.
Every external device that touches the workstation is logged — model, connection time, and the user.
Blocking policies stop files being written to removable media on a policy match.
Documents sent to printers attached to the workstation are captured with their content.
Print jobs sent to shared and network printers are recorded the same as local ones.
Blocking policies can stop a print job that matches a rule before the document reaches the tray.
Text and data placed on the clipboard are logged, exposing copy-paste of sensitive content.
Blocking policies prevent clipboard content from being pasted out of protected applications.
Files sent over Bluetooth are analyzed for sensitive content and policy compliance, blocked on a content rule match, and the intercepted files are visible in the Client Console.
Coverage varies by operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS). Bluetooth transfer is analyzed and blocked by the same content rules as USB and clipboard, with intercepted files visible in the Client Console.
Anexet records the full local picture: files written to USB and external ports, documents sent to local and network printers, clipboard content, and files moved over Bluetooth — each tied to a user, a device, and a timestamp. Bluetooth transfers are analyzed for sensitive content the same way as USB and clipboard: content rules can block a transfer on a match, and every intercepted file is visible in the Client Console. Because capture happens on the endpoint, nothing depends on a corporate gateway being in the path.
From the Advanced plan, blocking policies turn that record into prevention: writes to removable media, print jobs, clipboard paste, and file transfers can be stopped the moment they match a rule. Content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label is part of Premium, so a confidential document can be viewed in the console but never copied to a stick or printed out.
At a glance — what Anexet sees and can act on across local channels, from a connected USB stick to a Bluetooth transfer.
| Channel | Capture | Blocking |
|---|---|---|
| USB drives & flash media | Files, content & device audit | Policy blocking |
| COM / LPT ports | Files, content & device audit | Policy blocking |
| Local printers | Files & content | Policy blocking |
| Network printers | Files & content | Policy blocking |
| Clipboard | Files & content | Policy blocking |
| Bluetooth transfer | Files & content | Policy blocking |
Every channel in this table is captured on the endpoint and can be brought under blocking policy — one agent, one policy engine, on your own infrastructure.
Four steps from a local action on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the workstation captures device, print, clipboard, and Bluetooth activity as it happens.
1
Captured files, print jobs, and events are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for search.
2
Security and blocking policies scan content in real time and can block a USB write, print job, paste, or transfer on a match.
3
Analysts review activity, build cases, and export evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet controls devices, printing, the clipboard, and Bluetooth.
Yes, from the Advanced plan. Capture of files written to USB and an audit of each connected device are included from Standard; blocking policies that stop writes to removable media are part of Advanced. Content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label is added with Premium.
Yes. Documents sent to both local and network printers are captured with their content from the Standard plan, each tied to the user and the time. Blocking a print job that matches a rule is available from Advanced.
Yes. Clipboard content is captured from Standard, exposing copy-paste of sensitive data. From Advanced, blocking policies can prevent clipboard content from being pasted out of protected applications.
Yes, from the Advanced plan. Content rules can block a Bluetooth transfer the moment it matches a policy, the same way USB and clipboard transfers are handled, and every intercepted file stays visible in the Client Console for review.
Never. Anexet is deployed fully on-premise: all captured data stays inside your infrastructure and the vendor has no access to it.
