CLOUD FORENSICS

The current trend of the ever-increasing dependency on cloud computing indicates that despite the lack of immediate need for the utilization of cloud forensics’ features, future dependence is to a great extent guaranteed (Pichan et al, 2015). Cloud computing is at its natal stages of development, though the possibility of exponential extrapolation is imminent and therefore the need for development of an appropriate cloud forensics systems to cater for the cloud computing needs when they arise (Chen et al, 2019). The significance of security in computing and associated systems is of utter importance to the success of these undertakings. It is as a result of the noticeable opportunities existent in the field of cloud forensics that makes it of great importance. The existing opportunities in the cloud forensics include, the abundance of data available and continuously being availed for the development of the system as well as the possibility for further and greater cost optimization (Alex et al, 2017). It is due to these parameters that cloud forensics is considered important going forward in the field of computing and ultimately humanity.ReferencesAlex, M. E., & Kishore, R. (2017).
