Cyber security in a cloud with insight on the Slovenian situation
Primož Kragelj · 2011
As current trends show, more and more enterprises, public administrations and home users are using cloud-based infrastructure. Thus, new challenges arise, with many questions. How is it possible to perform forensics in a new environment without having physical access to a system? Is it enough to involve local authorities where a service provider resides? How can we collect data from a network? Will forensics be performed in the same way, with the single difference that electronic devices (like hard disks) will be on a table, but connected through a network? Will service providers support a mechanism allowing remote forensics? Will a changed approach provide adequate evidence in court? Also, a review of existing methodologies and some adaptation, especially in the data acquisition process, will be needed. This paper tries to assess these issues, particularly examining the Slovenian case.
