Proactive digital forensics in the cloud using virtual machines
D.J. Ras, Hein S. Venter · 2015
With the advent of cloud computing systems it has become possible to provision large scale systems in a short time with little effort. The systems underpinning these cloud systems have to deal with massive amounts of data in order to function. Should an indecent occur that requires some form of forensic investigation it can be very challenging for an investigator to conduct the investigation. This is due, in large part, to the volatility of data in cloud systems.
