'Tally Vault a Company'@ Tally.ERP 9 |
The Security of Data, is always a matter of concern for businesses since most organisations depend on the confidentiality of information. The Tally Vault feature is an enhanced security system which allows for encryption of the company data.
TallyVault ensures that the original information is under no circumstances made available to another user. This technique is similar to encryption-decryption, and the decrypted form of data is never stored in the system. Apart from this, it uses the non-stored password mechanism. This is done by using highly advanced mechanisms to validate a new user who does not have a prior knowledge of the original password. The combination of all these facilities makes, TallyVault one of the most secure means of information storage |
