CLOUD FORENSICS

Security measures

Definition
The forensics is the application of digital forensics science in the cloud computing environment. technically, it consist of hybrid different approaches for the generation of digital evidence. It involves interactions among the clouds for facilitation among internal and external investigation. It is considered as legal implication of the tenant situation.

cloud computing
The delivery of cloud computing as service opposed to the product with the three types:
Saas (Software as a services)
Paas (Platform as a services)
Iaas (Infrastructure as a services)

Importance of cloud
The significance of security in computing and associated systems is of utter importance to the success of these undertakings. It is as a result of the noticeable opportunities existent in the field of cloud forensics that makes it of great importance. It is very important in
Social media
Communications

Presentation

Opportunities
The existing opportunities in the cloud forensics include,
The abundance of data available and continuously being availed for the development of the system.
Possibility for further and greater cost optimization

CHALLENGES FACE BY CLOUD
There are different challenges faced by the cloud forensics such as:
Storage system is no more local
Every cloud server contains files from different users.
Even if the data relates to a specific identification, separating it from other users data is considered as more difficult.
Other than corporate social responsibility there are no usual evidence which relates to the specific data files.
Healthcare, business, or any other security which relates to the data.

CLOUD FORENSICS

The current trend of the ever-increasing dependency on cloud computing indicates that despite the lack of immediate need for the utilization of cloud forensics’ features, future dependence is to a great extent guaranteed (Pichan et al, 2015). Cloud computing is at its natal stages of development, though the possibility of exponential extrapolation is imminent and therefore the need for development of an appropriate cloud forensics systems to cater for the cloud computing needs when they arise (Chen et al, 2019). The significance of security in computing and associated systems is of utter importance to the success of these undertakings. It is as a result of the noticeable opportunities existent in the field of cloud forensics that makes it of great importance. The existing opportunities in the cloud forensics include, the abundance of data available and continuously being availed for the development of the system as well as the possibility for further and greater cost optimization (Alex et al, 2017). It is due to these parameters that cloud forensics is considered important going forward in the field of computing and ultimately humanity.
