Name one benefit of using cloud storage.

• Increased hardware costs

• Accessibility from any location

• Decreased data security

• Limited storage capacity

How does cloud storage enhance data security?

• Cloud storage reduces data security risks by eliminating backups.

• Cloud storage improves data security by making data publicly accessible.

• Cloud storage enhances data security by using physical storage devices.

• Cloud storage enhances data security by using encryption, regular backups, and advanced security measures.

What is the purpose of data backup in the cloud?

• To increase data storage costs.

• To protect data from loss and ensure recovery.

• To limit access to data.

• To enhance internet speed.

Compare cloud storage with local storage.

• Cloud storage is more flexible and scalable, while local storage offers faster access and control.

• Cloud storage is always more secure than local storage.

• Local storage is more cost-effective than cloud storage.

• Cloud storage requires physical hardware to function.

What is a disadvantage of cloud storage?

• Automatic data backup

• Enhanced collaboration features

• Unlimited storage capacity

• Data breaches and security risks.

What type of cloud storage is best for businesses?

• Private cloud storage

• Hybrid cloud storage

• Public cloud storage

• Local on-premises storage

How does encryption improve cloud storage security?

• Encryption is only necessary for physical storage devices.

• Encryption makes data easier to share with anyone.

• Encryption improves cloud storage security by making data unreadable to unauthorized users.

• Encryption slows down data access speeds.

What is the difference between public and private cloud storage?

• Public cloud storage is only for government use.

• Private cloud storage is always free of charge.

• Public cloud storage is exclusively for large enterprises.

• Public cloud storage is shared and managed by third parties, while private cloud storage is exclusive to one organization.

Why is scalability an advantage of cloud storage?

• Scalability allows users to adjust storage capacity easily and cost-effectively based on demand.

• Scalability increases the complexity of data management.

• Scalability limits the amount of data that can be stored.

• Scalability requires a long-term contract with the provider.
