According to NIST in its recently published paper on forensic science challenges and the cloud, "Cloud computing has revolutionized the methods by which digital data is stored, processed, and transmitted." The paper goes on to highlight that, "One of the most daunting new challenges is how to perform digital forensics in various types of cloud computing environments. The challenges associated with conducting forensics in different cloud deployment models, which may cross geographic or legal boundaries, have become an issue." The complete paper, NIST Cloud Computing Forensic Science Challenges, published in August of 2020, aggregates, categorizes, and discusses the forensics challenges faced by experts when responding to incidents that have occurred in a cloud-computing ecosystem.
