WhatsApp is the world's most-used messaging app — and an easy way for data to leave. Conversations, channel posts, and shared files are captured on the endpoint.

WhatsApp feels personal and instant — which is exactly why employees reach for it to share files they should not.
End-to-end encryption protects messages in transit, but it also means network-based and perimeter tools see nothing. Files, voice notes, and chat history move freely through the app — invisible to any monitoring that sits on the wire.
Anexet takes a different approach: it captures WhatsApp on the endpoint, after the app has already decrypted content on the device. The WhatsApp Desktop application and WhatsApp Web are covered equally, across Windows, Linux, and macOS managed endpoints — with no need to break or bypass encryption.
End-to-end encryption hides every message and file from the network — only endpoint capture actually sees them.
WhatsApp's speed and familiarity encourage employees to share files they would not send over monitored corporate email.
The WhatsApp Desktop app and WhatsApp Web present the same risk — Anexet covers both surfaces the same way.
Everything you need to bring WhatsApp under control, included as your plan grows.
See who uses WhatsApp, when, and how much. WhatsApp time and application activity feed directly into employee-monitoring and productivity reports.
Capture individual messages, group chats, channel posts, shared files, and media on the endpoint — searchable in the Client Console with the user identity and timestamp attached to every event.
Security policies stop risky file transfers (Advanced), and content-aware rules match by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label (Premium) — so a confidential document can be read in the Client Console but not sent through WhatsApp.
Anexet records WhatsApp activity as the user sees it: one-to-one messages, group conversations, channel posts, shared files, images, and voice messages — with the user identity and timestamp attached to every event.
Because capture happens on the endpoint rather than on the network, end-to-end encryption does not interfere, and WhatsApp Web is covered just like the desktop app. Policies can block file and message transfers, and content-aware rules can block by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label as more capability is added on higher plans.
From a WhatsApp message on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the managed workstation captures WhatsApp activity — desktop app and WhatsApp Web alike.
1
Captured messages, group chats, and shared files 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 evidence for investigations from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet handles WhatsApp.
Yes. Anexet captures WhatsApp on the endpoint — after the app decrypts content on the device — so end-to-end encryption on the network does not prevent monitoring. Messages, group chats, channel posts, shared files, and media are captured as the user sees them. Coverage of specific WhatsApp features is confirmed for your operating system during the demo.
Yes. Endpoint capture covers the WhatsApp Desktop application and WhatsApp Web equally, on Windows, Linux, and macOS managed endpoints.
Anexet covers managed Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations through lightweight endpoint agents — that is where WhatsApp Desktop and WhatsApp Web run and where capture happens. Mobile WhatsApp on phones and tablets sits outside this endpoint-based approach.
Yes. Security policies can block message and file transfers, and content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint, keyword, or sensitivity label goes further — letting a confidential document be read in the console but never sent. Exact policy coverage for your plan is confirmed during the demo.
WhatsApp tracking and interception are included from Standard, transfer blocking is added on Advanced, and content-aware blocking is included on Premium.
Never. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured WhatsApp messages, files, and activity logs stay inside your own infrastructure.
Anexet is deployed fully on-premise on your own servers. The vendor has no access to your data at any point — all processing, storage, and analysis happen within your infrastructure.
