The Channel Most Tools Never See

Messengers are the fastest, least-controlled way for data to leave your company — and the hardest to monitor without capturing them on the endpoint.

Sensitive files and conversations move through WhatsApp, Telegram, and Teams every day, yet network- and perimeter-based tools rarely see inside encrypted, app-based traffic. Anexet closes that gap by capturing messaging directly on the endpoint.

Because capture happens on the device — after the app has decrypted content — end-to-end-encrypted and browser-based messengers are monitored exactly like ordinary desktop clients, across Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Coverage also extends to regional super-apps: Aitu, widely used in Kazakhstan, is captured on both its web and desktop versions, so messages and file transfers are visible alongside every other channel.

Every captured message, attachment, and call becomes searchable evidence in the Client Console, ready for security policies, real-time alerts, and full investigations.

Why it matters

  • Captured at the endpoint

    Encrypted and web-based apps are covered just like desktop clients — no network decryption required.

  • The full conversation

    Messages, attachments, images, and call activity — each tied to a user and a timestamp.

  • Evidence-ready

    Everything is searchable in the Client Console and feeds policies, alerts, and investigations.

What Anexet Captures — and Blocks

Anexet records the full conversation: text, attachments, images, and call activity, with timestamps and the user behind each event. Because capture happens on the endpoint, web versions and end-to-end-encrypted apps are covered the same as desktop clients.

Content-aware policies block files and messages that match digital fingerprints, keywords, or sensitivity labels — so a confidential document can be read in the console but never sent. Every action is logged as evidence for investigations.

Each channel is captured on the endpoint, and every message, file, and call event is tied to a user and a timestamp. Blocking policies stop file transfers across these apps — desktop and web — and can block the app itself.

How Messenger Interception Works

Four steps from a message on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.

A lightweight agent on the workstation captures messaging activity — desktop clients and web versions alike.

1

Captured messages, files, and calls are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for search.

2

Security policies scan content in real time and can block, quarantine, or alert on a match.

3

Analysts review conversations, build cases, and export court-grade evidence from the Client Console.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Anexet monitors and controls messengers.

Can Anexet monitor encrypted messengers like Signal and WhatsApp?

Yes. Anexet captures messaging on the endpoint — after the app decrypts content on the device — so end-to-end-encrypted and web-based messengers are covered just like ordinary desktop clients. No interception of the encrypted network traffic is required.

25+ channels, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, WeChat, Viber, Aitu, Microsoft Teams, Rocket.Chat, Mattermost, XMPP/Jabber, and SIP/VoIP calls. The exact set depends on the operating system and is confirmed for your environment during the demo.

Yes. Aitu is a supported messaging channel — messages and file transfers are captured on both the web and desktop versions, giving organizations in Kazakhstan the same visibility they have over other messengers.

Yes, from the Advanced plan. Security policies can block message and file transfers, while content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label is part of Premium. A confidential file can be visible in the console but prevented from leaving the company.

Yes. The endpoint agent reports to your on-premise servers over the Internet, so home-office and field staff are covered by the same messenger capture, policies, and reporting as in-office employees.

Never. Anexet is deployed fully on-premise: all captured data stays inside your infrastructure and the vendor has no access to it.
