Part 6: Cloud Forensics

Research the problem of performing a forensic investigation involving cloud computing resources. There is dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, and lots of other ‘cloud’ based applications. Write a two (2) 100+ word summary of the types of problems you can reasonably expect to encounter and the steps required to overcome these limitations or issues. Your summary should be suitable for use in a discussion with a “regular” client who has asked you for your professional opinion regarding the forensics implications of moving sensitive corporate information from a private data center into the cloud.

Part 7: Conclusion

Based on all the research assignments thus far (5 total), What did you find most interesting about them? What tool did you find most interesting? What would you suggest to others interested in taking the class? A minimum of two (2) 100+ words is required, and they must be your own words. Including figures and quotes is value-added, but they will not count against your 100 word requirement.
