Viber Monitoring, Interception & Blocking

Viber sits quietly on every managed workstation — and sensitive files leave through it every day. Anexet captures Viber messages, group chats, and file transfers on the endpoint and blocks risky transfers before they leave — on-premise, with no vendor access to your data.

Why Viber Is a Data-Loss Risk on Managed Workstations

Viber on the desktop is fast and familiar — which makes it an easy, invisible path for confidential files to walk out.

Group chats and file sharing are built into Viber Desktop. Employees share documents, spreadsheets, and archives without a second thought, and because the traffic is encrypted, perimeter tools capture nothing useful.

Anexet captures Viber on the endpoint, after the app has decrypted the content on the workstation. Messages, group chats, and transferred files are recorded as the user sees them — on Windows, Linux, and macOS — so no transfer slips through unnoticed.

The risk, at a glance

  • Files in group chats

    A single group conversation can move a confidential file to dozens of colleagues — or to an outsider added to the chat.

  • Encrypted and invisible

    Network and gateway tools see encrypted Viber traffic, not content — only endpoint capture reads what was actually sent.

  • Desktop, not mobile

    Anexet covers Viber Desktop on managed workstations. There are no mobile agents — mobile devices are outside scope.

Track, Intercept, Block — in One Agent

Full Viber visibility and control, built into the same agent your team already runs.

  • Tracking

    See who uses Viber Desktop, when, and for how long. Usage data feeds directly into employee-monitoring and productivity reports in the Client Console.

  • Interception

    Capture messages, group chat conversations, and shared files on the endpoint — every event is searchable in the Client Console with the user identity and timestamp attached.

  • Blocking

    Stop file and message transfers with security policies (Advanced); content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label prevents confidential documents from leaving (Premium).

What Anexet Captures in Viber

Anexet records Viber activity as the user experiences it: one-to-one messages, group chat conversations, and the files and media transferred through them — with the user identity and timestamp on every event.

Because capture happens on the endpoint rather than the wire, no network decryption is needed. Starting with the Advanced plan, security policies can block file and message transfers; with Premium, content-aware rules block by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label — so a confidential document can be reviewed in the console but never sent.

How Viber Control Works

From a Viber message on a managed workstation to a controlled, searchable record.

A lightweight agent on the workstation captures Viber Desktop activity — messages, group chats, and file transfers alike.

1

Captured conversations and files are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for full-text search.

2

Security policies scan content in real time and can block, alert on, or quarantine a transfer that matches a rule.

3

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Anexet handles Viber on managed workstations.

Can Anexet monitor Viber if the traffic is encrypted?

Yes. Anexet captures Viber on the endpoint — after the app decrypts the content on the workstation — so network encryption does not prevent monitoring. Messages, group chats, and shared files are recorded as the user sees them. Coverage of specific Viber features for your operating system is confirmed during the demo.

Anexet covers Viber Desktop on managed workstations running Windows, Linux, and macOS. Web-based Viber access through a browser on a managed endpoint is also captured. Exact coverage by channel and platform is confirmed at demo.

No. Anexet has no mobile agents. Coverage is limited to Viber Desktop (and Viber in a browser) on managed workstations. Mobile phones and tablets are outside scope.

Yes, from the Advanced plan. Security policies can block file and message transfers in Viber. 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.

Tracking and interception are included from Standard. Blocking file and message transfers is added with Advanced, and content-aware blocking is part of Premium.

Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured Viber messages, files, and activity logs remain inside your own infrastructure.

No. Endpoint capture works after the Viber app decrypts content on the workstation — the capture happens at the application layer, not on the network. End-to-end encryption protects data in transit; it does not protect against endpoint-level recording.
