Front Range OWASP Conference 2013/Presentations/CloudForensics

Legal Issues of Forensics in the Cloud
Have you ever thought about how you would conduct a forensic investigation on your data if it was all in the Cloud; or, if your company suffers a data breach and all your data is in the Cloud how you would get the information you need to determine what happened and the extent of the damage? The Cloud presents many issues and new challenges. The best thing you can do is be prepared, but how?

This lecture will discuss the issues associated with attempting to deal with a data breach in the Cloud as well as conducting a forensic investigation in the Cloud. How do you prepare? What needs to be included in your contract or service level agreement? Finally, if you were not able to prepare, is all lost? What can you do, legally?
