Digest March 2020

Greetings! March 2020 wasn't the best spring’s beginning we hoped in February. Even inside the admin panel of ROI4CIO the impact of the pandemic is visible: if the early March products and companies are predominantly related to cyber defense, to the end of the month due to quarantine the course has been rapidly changing to solutions that can help to set up remote work more easily.

In March on the site appeared:

• 53 companies. These are vendors offering endpoints protection and response, suppliers of instant messengers and platforms for time tracking.

• 62 IT-products. Here are solutions for endpoints protection, forensic, analysis and response, communication platforms, remote workflow monitoring.

• Time Tracking Software category (you can guess, that it’ve appeared in the end of month). Here are the solutions that allow employees to record the time they spend on tasks and projects.

• Three comparison tables were created: EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), Instant Messaging and Time Tracking Software.
