Beyond the browser Desktop · dev tools

AI risk doesn't stop at the browser tab. Neither do we.

Your team also reaches AI from the desktop and the terminal, with tools like Claude Code and Codex. Tracehold's Windows and Linux agents take the same detection beyond the browser and report to the same console.

Windows & Linux Desktop & developer agents
Claude Code — terminal

REC · TERMINAL EGRESS · REDACT

A developer asks their AI assistant:

"deploy this for me — the AWS key is AKIA…7Q"
Redact
Key masked before the request went out
Tracehold stripped out the secret. The rest of the request still went through, and the assistant kept working.
[ The blind spot · beyond the tab ]

A browser extension only sees the browser

Some exposure never touches a browser tab. That is where most DLP goes blind.

On the desktop

What is copied to a USB drive, printed or captured from the screen on a Windows PC.

In the terminal

AI coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex work with your code and your environment, including live keys and credentials.

[ See · decide · protect ]

We catch it at the source, before it leaves

The agents check the text or file that is about to go to an AI. The browser extension needs no proxy and no certificates; the Windows agent does not intercept network traffic by default, and a clean Linux install does not intercept either.

01

Look at what is about to leave

The agent inspects the text or file before it goes out, with the same detection rules as the browser extension.

02

Apply your policy

Rules for agents are observe, redact or block, set per tool: for example Claude Code or Codex.

03

One policy, one console

Every surface reports to the same console. Agents send an excerpt of the text with the sensitive values masked.

[ Coverage · Windows · Linux ]

Windows and Linux, one console

The browser extension runs in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on any computer. The agents add what a browser cannot see.

The same detection rules, everywhere

The agents use the same detection rules as the browser extension. See what we detect →

One console for all of it

The browser, the desktop and the terminal all report to a single console and a single set of policies. See the console →

Windows

Covers USB drives, printing, screen captures of protected Office documents and on-demand file scans. It does not intercept network traffic by default.

Linux

Built for developers and servers. Can scan local text files when you turn on the local scanner and, when your policy turns it on, checks the traffic of terminal AI tools such as Claude Code and Codex. A clean install does not intercept anything. It needs 64-bit x86 (amd64) Linux with glibc 2.39 or newer, such as Ubuntu 24.04.

[ Developer tools · redact ]

Protect AI coding tools without slowing developers down

Coding assistants are some of the most useful and most exposed AI tools in a company. On Linux, the agent covers Claude Code and Codex when your policy turns it on.

Off until your policy says so

A clean install does not intercept traffic and does not change the certificate store. Inspection is something the policy from the console switches on.

A rule for each tool

Claude Code and Codex each get their own rule in the console: observe, redact or block. You can start by only observing.

A masked excerpt, not the code

What reaches the console is an excerpt of the text with the sensitive values masked, plus the event metadata.

[ Why Tracehold ]

Broad coverage, without the heavy rollout

Covers shadow AI too

The catalogue covers more than 300 AI tool domains. Tools nobody approved show up as shadow AI, and in the console you allow, review or block each one.

Compliance mapping

On the Governance plan, findings map to 39 controls across GDPR, the EU AI Act, DORA, NIS2, ISO 27001 and SOC 2. It supports your audits; it is not legal advice or a certification. See compliance →

Start small

Begin with the browser extension and add the agents where you need them. The console generates the managed-policy files (.reg, .ps1, .json) and the MSI, and there is an Intune guide.

Built and hosted in the EU

Tracehold is built in the EU and EU-hosted. Each customer's data is isolated with Row-Level Security. Read the security overview →

[ FAQ · buyer questions ]

The questions buyers ask first

Which AI tools beyond the browser do you cover?
The Windows agent covers USB drives, printing, screen captures of protected Office documents and on-demand file scans. The Linux agent can scan local text files when you turn on the local scanner and, when your policy turns it on, check terminal AI tools such as Claude Code and Codex. Both report to the same console as the browser extension.
Which operating systems do the agents run on?
Windows and Linux. The Linux agent needs 64-bit x86 (amd64) Linux with glibc 2.39 or newer, such as Ubuntu 24.04. The browser extension runs in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on any computer.
Will it break my developers’ workflow?
A clean Linux install does not intercept anything. When your policy turns inspection on for Claude Code or Codex, you choose per tool whether to observe, redact or block, so you can start by only observing.
Do I have to re-route traffic or install certificates?
The browser extension needs neither. The Windows agent does not intercept network traffic by default. On Linux, a clean install does not intercept either; inspecting terminal AI tools is something your policy switches on.
What gets sent back to the console?
Event metadata (type of data, severity, destination, action) plus a masked sample of the value. Agents send an excerpt of the text with the sensitive values masked. Keeping the content is off by default. See the Security page for the detail.
How does this fit with the browser extension?
It is the complement. The extension covers the AI tools in your browser; the agents cover the desktop and the terminal. They share the same detection rules, the same policies and the same console. See pricing for what each plan includes.
