Cloud Computing, Digital Forensics, Technology Virtualization, Storage CapacityAbstract
Organizations are increasingly turning to cloud computing, which offers convenience and provides services based on virtualization technology. Some benefits of cloud computing include accessibility, availability, flexibility, vast storage capacity, speed, flexibility, and on-demand network connectivity. Significant potential security dangers are associated with this new technology, and digital forensics cannot keep up with the rapid adoption of cloud computing solutions. This study gives an overview of cloud forensics to offer better prospects, highlighting the existing problems and difficulties. It also suggests actions that can be taken to address these difficulties.
