WeChat is widely used for business, yet its traffic is encrypted end-to-end, leaving most tools blind. It is captured on the endpoint, as users see it.

WeChat combines personal and business communication in one app — and that mix makes it one of the hardest channels to govern.
Sensitive conversations flow through WeChat every day on company devices. Because the app's traffic is encrypted, perimeter and network-layer tools cannot read it. Most organizations either block WeChat entirely or accept the blind spot.
Anexet offers a third option: capture WeChat on the endpoint, after the Windows desktop client has processed the content. Messages are logged with user identity and timestamps, searchable from the Client Console — without touching network traffic at all.
Employees mix work and personal contacts inside one app, so sensitive data can leave through conversations that look routine.
Encrypted traffic means network and proxy tools see packet noise, not content — only an endpoint agent can capture the plaintext.
Chats sent via WeChat leave no trace in email or cloud-storage logs — unless an endpoint agent records them.
All three layers of WeChat oversight are included as your plan grows — no separate modules to purchase.
See who uses WeChat, when, and for how long. WeChat activity feeds directly into employee-monitoring and productivity reports so you have a full picture of desktop communication.
Capture group conversations, incoming private messages, and forwarded messages from the WeChat Windows desktop client on managed endpoints. Every captured event is stored with the user identity and timestamp, fully searchable in the Client Console.
Security policies can stop the WeChat desktop client from running on a managed endpoint at all (Advanced), so the channel is closed rather than watched. Where WeChat stays allowed, captured conversations still feed content-aware rules and reports (Premium).
Anexet records WeChat messages as they occur on the endpoint — no proxy, no network tap needed. Each captured message is tied to a specific user and timestamped, so your security team can search, filter, and reconstruct any conversation from the Client Console.
Because capture happens on the Windows desktop client rather than the network, encryption does not interfere. From the Advanced plan, security policies can block WeChat transfers the moment they match a rule. With Premium, content-aware policies check content against digital fingerprints, keyword dictionaries, and confidentiality labels before allowing it through.
From a WeChat message on a managed workstation to a searchable, controlled record.
A lightweight Anexet agent runs on the Windows workstation and captures WeChat activity from the desktop client.
1
Captured messages are sent to your on-premise server, indexed, and stored — entirely within your own infrastructure.
2
Security policies scan transferred content in real time and can block, log, or trigger an alert when a rule is matched.
3
Security analysts review conversations, investigate incidents, and export evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet handles WeChat.
Yes. Anexet captures WeChat on the endpoint — after the Windows desktop client has decrypted the content on the device — so encryption on the network does not prevent monitoring. Messages are captured as the user sees them, not from the wire.
Coverage applies to the WeChat Windows desktop client on company-managed computers, captured through an endpoint agent installed on the workstation. Mobile devices are outside the scope of this agent.
Transfer blocking is available from the Advanced plan. You can create security policies that block outbound WeChat transfers based on protocol and channel rules. Content-aware blocking — matching content against digital fingerprints, keyword dictionaries, or confidentiality labels — is part of the Premium plan.
Captured WeChat messages stay entirely inside your own on-premise infrastructure. Anexet is deployed on-premise and the vendor has no access to your data — messages are never transmitted to Scinero Software Limited or any third party.
An endpoint agent is required to capture WeChat content, because end-to-end encryption means network-layer and proxy-based tools only see encrypted traffic, not message text. Anexet's agent reads the content on the device itself, before encryption or after decryption.
The endpoint agent captures text messages exchanged through the WeChat Windows desktop client. Each message is stored with the user identity and a timestamp so it can be searched and reviewed in the Client Console. Coverage of file transfers and voice calls within WeChat is confirmed for your environment during the demo.
All captured data is stored on your on-premise server and indexed for full-text search. Your security team can search by user, date range, keywords, or file type, build a timeline of events, and export evidence from the Client Console for internal review or legal proceedings.
