Forensics Techniques

What is one concern when collecting forensic evidence in public cloud environments?

  • A High Cost: Cloud service providers typically charge high fees for allowing cloud forensics.
  • B Configuration: Implementing security zones and proper network segmentation.
  • C Timeliness: Gathering forensics evidence from cloud service providers typically requires substantial time.
  • D Multitenancy: Evidence gathering must avoid exposure of data from other tenants.
Explanation

Public-cloud infrastructure is multi-tenant, so forensic collection must isolate the relevant tenant’s evidence and prevent disclosure of data belonging to other tenants. NIST identifies access to one tenant’s data without breaching other tenants’ confidentiality as a cloud-forensic challenge.
