What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
Enable Comet Browser as a supported exit point in Netwrix CAP to improve visibility and control over browser-based data access and exfiltration.
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
Currently, Netwrix CAP does not support Comet Browser as an exit point, which creates a visibility gap for organizations that use or allow this browser in their environment. As browser-based access continues to be a common channel for data movement, the lack of Comet Browser monitoring limits our ability to fully detect, audit, and prevent potential data exfiltration or misuse through this application.
Adding Comet Browser as an exit point in CAP would allow security teams to:
Monitor and control sensitive data movement via Comet Browser
Apply consistent DLP and monitoring policies across all approved browsers
Reduce blind spots in insider risk and data protection strategies
This enhancement would align with real-world enterprise usage and strengthen CAP’s overall coverage.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
At present, we rely on indirect controls such as:
Network-level monitoring and firewall policies
Endpoint restrictions outside of CAP
Manual audits and exception handling
These approaches are fragmented and do not provide the same level of granular visibility, centralized reporting, or policy enforcement that native CAP exit point support would offer.
Hello Subetharan,
Welcome to Netwrix Community!
We recognize the importance of monitoring data leakage in AI-driven environments, and as part of our ongoing efforts to expand our AI monitoring capabilities, support for monitoring data leakage through the Comet AI web browser has already been registered and planned on our roadmap.
While we’re not able to share a specific delivery timeline at this time, please rest assured that this enhancement is actively being considered as part of our future development. We’ll be sure to share updates as progress becomes available.
The item’s progress can be also tracked on the Product Board–https://portal.productboard.com/rqqgx2aos1cf9enrezvrre6a/c/533-monitor-comet-ai-web-browser-as-an-egress-channel
Thank you again for your valuable feedback—it helps guide our priorities and shape our product direction.
Kind Regards,
Simona
Hello Simona,
Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing the update. I appreciate the confirmation that monitoring data leakage through the Comet AI web browser is already registered and planned on the roadmap, as well as the Product Board tracking link.
Additionally, I would like to suggest considering support not only for Comet Browser, but also for AI-based and emerging browsers as part of the exit point discovery feature. As a service-based organization, we frequently receive client-driven security requirements, and our employees also perform POCs using various tools and browsers. From a data protection standpoint, it is critical for us to monitor and block any potential sensitive data exposure across all such browsers—especially those leveraging AI capabilities.
Expanding exit point discovery to dynamically identify and govern AI-driven browsers would greatly help organizations maintain consistent data protection controls and meet evolving client and compliance expectations.
Thank you again for the transparency and for considering this feedback. I look forward to future updates.
Best regards,
Subetharan

Hi Krzysiek,
Thank you for the update.
This is great news. I really appreciate you and the product team taking our feedback seriously and delivering support for Content Aware Protection on the Comet AI browser for both Windows and macOS. It’s great to see the exit-point gap we previously raised being addressed.
I have one additional question from a client regarding AI protection:
IDE-based AI assistants:
Is there currently any capability to inspect data submitted to AI assistants integrated into applications such as VS Code or JetBrains, including GitHub Copilot and JetBrains AI Assistant?
This is becoming an important requirement for our customers, so any clarification on the current capabilities or roadmap would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again for keeping us updated, and congratulations to the team on the 2608 release.
Best regards,
Subetharan
Hi @subetharan.muthuswami,
I’m glad you liked the information about Comet coverage.
Yes, AI IDEs are part of our current roadmap. As you may have seen in the 2608 release, we added coverage for Cursor IDE. Other AI IDE scenarios, such as VS Code-related use cases or GitHub Copilot, are already scheduled for development.
So far, JetBrains has not been requested yet, so I would kindly ask you to register it as an Idea for visibility. We will then evaluate it as part of our roadmap process.
Thank you for the feedback!
BR,
Krzysiek
