Experience Financial Management for Small Business: Control and Protect Sensitive Information

As a small-business owner, chances are you are concerned about keeping your payroll, bank statements, project budgets and other private financial information secure and protected at all times. Windows Vista enables small businesses to feel confident in the knowledge that their PCs are running smoothly and that sensitive financial data is well protected.

Keep your financial data secure

Your customers expect their data to remain secure in your hands - and your own data is just as important. Windows Vista provides an updated Security Center that helps you manage, monitor and configure all your security-related preferences and settings from a central location. You also can set your PC to automatically receive security software updates and updates to applications such as antivirus and firewall protection and third-party security programs.

Use the updated Security Center to manage your security preferences, and receive automatic updates to help keep financial data secure.

Back up and restore critical financial data

What if your only business computer goes down? Accounts payable, accounts receivable, project budgets - all of your financial records could be lost. With the Windows Backup and Restore Center in Windows Vista Business, you have a powerful set of automated backup tools that protect critical financial data within any financial management application.

The automated tools in the Windows Backup and Restore Center help to protect crucial financial data.

Defend against malicious software

User Account Control in Windows Vista reduces your vulnerability to malicious software, such as viruses, worms and spyware, by helping to prevent unauthorised applications or malicious websites from modifying user files or installing software. You can also protect critical system settings from inadvertent user changes by assigning limited user accounts to your employees. This lets employees work with all the functionality of Windows Vista Business but without administrator privileges - they can be productive and you can be protected. User Account Control in Windows Vista also features improved application compatibility with programs that require administrator permissions to run.
