Social networks are an open door for both lost productivity and quiet data leaks. What employees post, message and upload is captured through the browser.

Social media sits in every browser tab — a productivity drain that doubles as an uncontrolled upload channel for company files.
Employees scroll feeds, send private messages, and post updates all day, and any of those actions can carry a confidential document or screenshot out of the company. Anexet watches this activity through its web channel: the same engine that intercepts HTTP and web traffic also records what passes through social networks in the browser.
Rather than a separate interceptor for each network, Anexet captures social media as web activity on the endpoint — so a new platform your team adopts is covered the moment it loads in a supported browser, across Windows, Linux, and macOS. There are no mobile agents; coverage is for managed workstations.
Two questions get answered at once: how much working time goes to social media, and whether anything sensitive is being uploaded or messaged out. Both feed the same searchable record in the Client Console for policies, alerts, and investigations.
Social networks are monitored as browser web traffic on the endpoint — not through a per-network plug-in.
See how long each user spends on social platforms and turn vague suspicion into hard activity statistics.
Posts, messages, and file uploads are recorded so a confidential file can be flagged before it leaves the company.
Social media is captured as browser web activity, with blocking of uploads and transfers by security policy, including content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or sensitivity label.
Posts, comments, private messages, and file uploads in the browser.
Captions, direct messages, and shared media via the web channel.
Posts, replies, and direct messages recorded on the endpoint.
Private messages and job posts — a common channel for quiet data and talent leaks.
Browsing time, posts, and uploads through the web channel.
Viewing time and uploaded content captured as web activity.
Pins, boards, and shared links recorded on the endpoint.
Posts, comments, and message threads via the browser.
Posts and replies captured as browser web activity.
Web-based activity recorded on the endpoint where used in the browser.
Any social network opened in a supported browser is covered by the same web channel.
Social networks are captured through the web channel, not a dedicated per-network interceptor. Coverage depends on browser and operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS) — our team confirms the exact matrix for your environment during the demo.
Anexet records social media as it happens in the browser: posts, comments, private messages, and uploaded files, each tied to a user and a timestamp. Alongside the content, it measures time spent on each network, so productivity and data-leak questions are answered from one source.
Security and blocking policies, available with Advanced, stop uploads and message transfers on social networks when they match a rule. Content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or thesaurus, part of Premium, means a confidential document can be visible in the console but prevented from ever being posted or sent.

Anexet monitors social media through the web channel on every plan; Advanced adds policy-based blocking of uploads and message transfers that match a rule.
Four steps from a browser tab on the endpoint to a controlled, searchable record.
A lightweight agent on the workstation captures social-network activity through the web channel as it passes through the browser.
1
Posts, messages, uploads, and time-on-media are sent to your on-premise server and indexed for search.
2
With Advanced, security policies scan content in real time and can block an upload, quarantine a transfer, or raise an alert on a match.
3
Analysts review activity, measure time on each network, and export evidence from the Client Console.

Common questions about how Anexet monitors and controls social media at work.
Social networks are captured through Anexet's web channel — the same engine that intercepts browser web traffic on the endpoint — rather than a separate interceptor per network. This means a platform your team starts using is covered as soon as it loads in a supported browser, without waiting for a per-network module.
Yes. Alongside the captured content, Anexet records time on media as part of user activity statistics, so you can see how long each user spends on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other networks and turn it into objective reports.
Yes. Security and blocking policies stop uploads and message transfers that match a rule, and they activate with the Advanced plan. Content-aware blocking by digital fingerprint or thesaurus adds to that with Premium, so a confidential file can be visible in the console but prevented from being posted or sent — the exact setup for your environment is confirmed during the demo.
Anexet monitors managed company workstations — Windows, Linux, and macOS desktops and laptops where the agent is installed. There is no mobile agent, so personal phones and BYOD devices fall outside this coverage.
