North Ridge Security provides security consulting and assurance services.

You have recently been hired as an intern to assist them. Operation Appreciation is a statewide charity service that assists military veterans who are struggling. Recently, one of its primary servers crashed. When the IT department tried to restore from a recent backup, they found that there was a flaw, and several months worth of the backups was useless. Fortunately, North Ridge Security was able to restore the server that crashed and obtain a good backup before it was installed on a new system. (North Ridge did this service without charging Operating Appreciation.) Now North Ridge now wants to assist Operating Appreciation with creating a secure backup system. You have been asked to make a presentation to them.

1. Create a PowerPoint presentation for Operation Appreciation about backups, including the types of data backups, where they should be stored, how they should be tested, etc. Your presentation should contain at least 10 slides.

2. After the presentation, Operation Appreciation is most interested in cloud backups and has asked for your opinion. Use the Internet to research cloud backups and then create a memo about your findings and recommendations.
