In this podcast we discuss a systematic literature review investigating the legal and technical hurdles of cloud-based digital forensics. The discussion highlights that traditional investigative methods often fail in cloud environments due to data volatility, distributed storage across multiple jurisdictions, and a reliance on third-party service providers. By analyzing 32 core studies published between 2020 and 2023, it identifies a critical need for standardized frameworks and unified international regulations to ensure the admissibility of evidence in court. Proposed solutions include the integration of blockchain technology for securing the chain of custody and the development of specialized tools to handle multi-tenant infrastructures. Ultimately, the work serves as an update on the state of the field, emphasizing the importance of forensic readiness among cloud providers to combat increasing criminal activity.
