End-to-end encryption protects Signal in transit — but Anexet captures messages and attachments on the endpoint, after Signal decrypts them for the user. On-premise deployment; the vendor has no access to your data.

Signal's strong privacy reputation is precisely what makes employees willing to send sensitive files through it — and what makes it a blind spot for security teams.
End-to-end encryption means every message is unreadable on the wire. Perimeter firewalls, proxy inspection, and network DLP tools see only encrypted noise — the content is gone before it ever reaches them.
Anexet takes a different approach: it captures Signal on the endpoint, after the Signal Desktop app has already decrypted the message for the user. The desktop client and the web version are covered the same way, across Windows, Linux, and macOS — so the encryption barrier no longer applies.
Network and proxy inspection see only ciphertext — only endpoint capture actually reads the content.
Signal's privacy reputation encourages employees to share files and discussions they would avoid in other channels.
Documents, images, and other files move through Signal with no trace on the network layer.
Everything you need to bring Signal on managed endpoints under control, included as your plan grows.
See who uses Signal Desktop, when, and how often. Usage time and activity feed straight into employee-monitoring and productivity reports.
Capture messages and shared attachments on the endpoint — searchable in the Client Console with the user identity and timestamp behind every event.
Stop risky transfers with security policies (Advanced); content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label keeps confidential data in (Premium).
Anexet records Signal activity as the user sees it: individual conversations and shared attachments — with the user identity and timestamp attached to every event. Capture happens on the endpoint, so Signal's end-to-end encryption does not prevent it.
Because capture runs on the workstation rather than the wire, no network decryption is needed. The Signal Desktop client and the web version are both covered. From the Advanced plan, policies can block file and message transfers; with Premium, content-aware rules block by fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label.
From a Signal message on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the workstation captures Signal activity — desktop client and web version alike — after the app decrypts content for the user.
1
Captured messages and attachments 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.

Common questions about how Anexet handles Signal.
Yes. Anexet captures Signal on the endpoint — after the Signal Desktop app has already decrypted the message for the user — so encryption on the network does not prevent monitoring. Messages and attachments are captured as the user sees them.
Yes. Endpoint capture covers the Signal Desktop client and the web version the same way, on Windows, Linux, and macOS managed workstations.
Yes, from the Advanced plan. Security policies can block message and file transfers. Content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label is part of Premium, so a confidential document can be read in the console but never sent.
Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured Signal content stays inside your own infrastructure.
No. Anexet does not include mobile agents. Coverage applies to Signal Desktop and the Signal web version running on managed Windows, Linux, and macOS endpoints.
Tracking and interception are included from the Standard plan. Blocking message and file transfers is added with Advanced, and content-aware blocking is part of Premium.
Never. Anexet is fully on-premise: all captured data is stored on your own servers, and the vendor has no access to it at any point.
