PC
security: 5 reasons for choosing
Windows Vista for your
small business
Reprinted with permission from the Microsoft Small Business Center

 Worried about computer
viruses? Concerned about the safety of your company's data?
You're in good company. Databranch can assist you in planning
for the future of your network and how best to take advantage
of emerging technology solutions, such as Windows
Vista.
If you run a small
business, you probably don't just feel like a target. Your
company probably is a target. Small businesses are frequent
victims of cyberattacks, according to several recent studies.
And a 2006 Yankee Group survey found that 40 percent of small
business owners rank protecting their companies from outside
security breaches as an important issue.
"Big businesses
have extensive IT departments with deep expertise to handle
security," says Ann Westerheim, president of Ekaru, a
technology services company for small and medium-sized
business. "Small businesses just don't have these resources –
and they're vulnerable."
Interestingly, the
same Yankee Group study found that half of all small business
owners delayed a technology upgrade because of costs. But what
if you could address many small business security concerns by
upgrading your operating system? By deploying Windows Vista,
your small business could effectively kill two birds with one
proverbial stone: (1) realizing the performance benefits of a
new operating system, and (2) addressing important
cyber-security concerns.
Here are five ways
that Windows Vista helps your small business run
safer:
1.Improved data
protection features
2.New anti-spyware tools
3.Internet
Explorer 7 'Protected' mode
4.Better management of
administrator privileges
5.Network access
