Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Emerging cloud computing services have led to a paradigm shift enhanced with artificial intelligence, big data, and internet of things technologies. As security incidents targeting the cloud computing platform occur, the paradigm shift brings new risks and challenges in terms of not only security capabilities, but also in terms of digital investigation. In this direction, digital forensic technologies for cloud computing platforms has gained considerable attention in the field of computer security research. This Special Issue is aimed to contribute to this research on topics related to introspection of cloud computing platforms and forensic technologies for cloud computing.
