10 January 2024 | Annas Wasim Malik, David Samuel Bhatti, Tae-Jin Park, Hafiz Usama Ishtiaq and Jae-Cheol Ryou, Ki-Il Kim
Cloud digital forensics is a critical area of study as cloud computing becomes more prevalent. This review explores the challenges, techniques, and future directions of cloud digital forensics. The paper discusses the importance of cloud security, the risks associated with data breaches, and the role of cloud forensics in investigating and mitigating these risks. It also highlights the growing market for cloud digital forensics, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 16.53% from 2023 to 2031, expected to reach USD 36.9 billion by 2031. The paper emphasizes the need for robust security measures, compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks, and the development of specialized tools and techniques for cloud forensics. It also addresses the challenges of cloud forensics, including the difficulty of retrieving data from log files, the transient nature of data in cloud environments, and the lack of physical accessibility to cloud-based data. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and the importance of continuous innovation in cloud digital forensics to ensure the security and integrity of data in cloud environments.Cloud digital forensics is a critical area of study as cloud computing becomes more prevalent.
