Comodo One
Comodo is a major player in connection security services. The company has created a free remote monitoring and management platform, called Comodo One. This is a “Freemium” tool because the basic system is free to use, but you have to pay for extra features, such as the connection security features. As RMM is all about remote access over the public medium of the internet, it is likely that any company would ever use this service without security. So, in a roundabout way, you end up paying for Comodo One. Given that Comodo has an excellent reputation for its cybersecurity products, the protection in Comodo One is worth paying for.
