In computer networking, cloud computing is the computer network that have a large number of computers connected to communicable media/communication network such as Internet, having the ability to run a program/application on many connected computers at the same time; therefore, cloud computing also known as distributed computing over a network. Increasing interest as well as use of cloud computing increases the opportunities for criminal exploitation and challenges for LEAs (Law Enforcement Agencies), especially with respect to data protection policies. Therefore, present work demonstrates to identify the required challenge to current forensic investigation needed to successfully conduct cloud computing investigation, and propose an integrated concept, which emphasizes the preservation of forensic data collection of cloud computing data for forensic purpose. Keywords Cloud Computing, Digital Forensic Investigation for Cloud Computing, LEAs.
