The Most Complete Endpoint Coverage in the Anexet Fleet

Windows is the primary Anexet platform — every interception channel, every monitoring capability, and every blocking policy works here first.

Windows remains the dominant enterprise endpoint OS, and Anexet reflects that reality with its deepest feature coverage on Windows. From the Standard plan you get app and web activity tracking, screen and audio recording, network traffic interception, USB device control, printer monitoring, clipboard capture, and screenshots — all stored on your on-premise server with no vendor access. Advanced adds DLP-grade blocking policies and the keylogger. Premium adds the full analysis suite including digital fingerprints, AI-assisted incident summarisation, and Risk Analysis.

The Windows agent supports the full range of releases your fleet is likely to include: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 on the desktop; Windows Server 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2019, and 2022 on the server side. This breadth matters for organisations with long refresh cycles, legacy operational environments, or virtualised Windows desktops running alongside current machines.

Because the deployment is entirely on-premise, every byte of intercepted data — messages, file transfers, screenshots, and recordings — stays inside your perimeter. Scinero Software Limited, the vendor, has no access to your infrastructure, your users' activity, or any captured data.

What sets Windows coverage apart

  • Widest OS range

    Agents run from Windows XP through Windows 11 and all Windows Server versions from 2003 to 2022 — covering every machine in a mixed-age enterprise fleet.

  • Every channel intercepted

    Email, messengers, web, cloud storage, USB, printers, clipboard, screenshots, and VoIP — all covered on Windows, with blocking available from the Advanced plan.

  • Active DLP, not just monitoring

    Advanced and Premium plans move beyond logging to real-time blocking — prevent a file transfer at the moment it happens, not just after the fact.

Windows Monitoring Capabilities by Plan

All capabilities below are verified against the plan matrix. Standard covers activity monitoring and interception; Advanced adds blocking policies and keylogger; Premium adds the full DLP analysis and Inventory suite.

Activity & productivity monitoring

  • Application monitoring

    Standard

    Tracks every application the user opens, window title, and duration of active focus. Productive vs non-productive time is categorised automatically.

  • Browser and web activity

    Standard

    URLs visited, time per site, and search queries across all major Windows browsers. Sites are categorised by type.

  • Productivity and idle time

    Standard

    Daily activity timelines separate active keyboard/mouse periods from idle periods, giving managers a clear picture of engagement.

  • User profile dossier

    Standard

    Per-employee dashboard combining recent incidents, productivity metrics, active processes, active devices, and real-time status.

  • User tags

    Standard

    Predefined and custom tags (e.g. 'on notice', 'under review') that surface across all modules to focus investigation effort.

Screen, webcam & audio recording

  • Continuous or scheduled screen recording

    Standard

    The agent records the desktop at configured quality and frame rate; footage is indexed against the user activity timeline on your on-premise server.

  • Live view (real-time preview)

    Standard

    A security officer opens a real-time preview of any monitored Windows workstation directly from the console — no extra tools required.

  • Historical playback with application overlay

    Standard

    Scrub stored recordings from the User Activity section; the timeline shows which application was in focus at each moment.

  • Multichannel audio recording

    Standard

    Microphone and speaker audio captured as separate tracks or merged into a single file; preferred microphone selection when multiple inputs are present.

  • Webcam video recording

    Standard

    Schedule-based webcam video capture for presence checks and session reconstruction.

  • Webcam still snapshots

    Advanced

    Individual still images from the webcam — periodic presence checks without the storage overhead of continuous video.

Keylogger

  • Full keystroke logging

    Advanced

    Records all keystrokes on monitored endpoints — including text typed inside encrypted apps, private-mode browsers, and desktop applications where channel-level interception does not capture free-form input.

DLP interception channels

  • Network traffic (POP3, SMTP, IMAP, MAPI, HTTP, FTP, XMPP)

    Standard

    Full interception of email, web, and web-based messengers and cloud storage at the protocol level.

  • Desktop messengers

    Standard

    Intercepts content in encrypted and standard desktop messaging applications.

  • Bluetooth file transfers

    Premium

    Analyses files sent over Bluetooth for sensitive content; blocking and content rules available.

  • IP telephony / VoIP (SIP)

    Premium

    Intercepts VoIP calls on monitored Windows endpoints.

Blocking policies (active DLP)

  • Protocol-level blocking (HTTP, SMTP, MAPI, FTP, XMPP)

    Advanced

    Blocks outbound data transfers over the specified protocols in real time when a policy rule fires.

  • Device blocking (USB, COM, LPT)

    Advanced

    Blocks or restricts external storage and peripheral ports by policy rule.

  • Print blocking

    Advanced

    Blocks documents matching security policy criteria from reaching printers.

  • Clipboard blocking

    Advanced

    Prevents copy/paste of content that matches security rules.

  • Messenger file-transfer blocking

    Advanced

    Blocks file attachments sent through monitored desktop messengers when they match a policy.

  • Screenshot blocking

    Advanced

    Prevents screen-capture tools from operating on monitored workstations.

  • Process network blocking

    Advanced

    Restricts specified processes from making outbound network connections.

  • Content-aware blocking (fingerprints, hashes, labels)

    Premium

    Precise, automated DLP enforcement based on digital fingerprints, hash banks, and confidentiality labels rather than broad channel-level rules.

Windows delivers the fullest Anexet coverage. Feature availability on Linux and macOS varies — our team confirms the exact configuration for your environment during the demo.

On-Premise — Your Data Never Leaves Your Infrastructure

The Anexet endpoint agent runs silently on Windows workstations across the full supported version range. It captures user activity, network traffic, screen frames, webcam frames, and audio channels at configured quality settings and schedules, with no perceptible impact on normal workstation operation. All intercepted data is transmitted over the internal network to the Anexet Data Processing Server on your own infrastructure and indexed for full-text search.

Anexet is deployed entirely on-premise. All intercepted content — messages, file transfers, recordings, and screenshots — remains on your server. Scinero Software Limited, the vendor, has no access to your systems or any captured data, making Windows endpoint monitoring viable even under strict data-sovereignty, insider-threat, or regulatory compliance requirements.

How Windows Monitoring Works

Four steps from agent deployment to a searchable, investigation-ready record.

A lightweight Anexet agent is deployed silently to Windows workstations — desktop or server, physical or virtual — using your existing software-distribution tools or GPO. The agent begins monitoring immediately upon deployment.

1

The agent captures app and web activity, network traffic, screen and audio data, device events, and clipboard content according to the configuration defined in the Administrator Console. All data is transmitted over the internal network to your on-premise Anexet server — nothing is sent to the vendor.

2

Security policies and blocking rules configured in the Administrator Console run automatically against incoming data. When a rule fires, the system logs an incident, sends an alert, and — on Advanced and Premium — blocks the transfer in real time.

3

From the Client Console, a security officer or authorised manager reviews intercepted data, launches live view, scrubs recordings, runs full-text searches, and builds investigation cases — all within the on-premise environment, without vendor access to any data.
