Can NetSenX monitor a laptop that is outside the office?

Yes, if the laptop runs the NetSenX agent; otherwise only when its traffic comes back through a monitored segment. The agent runs on Linux and macOS and watches that laptop's own connections wherever it is, at home, in a hotel or on a train, and alerts such as beaconing, scanning or unusual outbound volume reach your dashboard, on every plan. Each laptop with the agent counts as one device. On macOS the agent runs in a basic mode that does not capture packets, so features that need packet capture, such as TLSTLS: Transport Layer Security. The encryption that protects most internet traffic, such as HTTPS. fingerprinting, are not available there. A laptop without the agent is seen only when it connects through the office network, or over a VPN whose traffic crosses a monitored segment. What the agent never sees is the content of encrypted traffic or what happens inside the laptop; endpoint protection covers that part.
