Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cloud computing is one of the fastest growing technologies in the field of computing. It is becoming more and more prevalent. Cloud computing has radically changed the way in which information technologies can be delivered. Although cloud computing has brought countless benefits to its consumers, these benefits can be misused for malicious purposes.
While the literature in cloud computing in general is not scarce, a number of related topics are still rich areas for research, some of which are cloud security and forensics. Many of the challenges in the field of cloud security and forensics need further investigation. This special issue is aimed to contribute to this research on topics related to cloud security and forensics. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to:
Cloud Security
- Cloud security readiness
- Security-as-a-Service
- Controlling access for cloud services
- Trust as a Service
- Cloud Governance
- Cloud Security monitoring
- Regulatory compliance
- Security and Risks Management
- Security challenges in cloud service models
- Case studies related to cloud security
- Current and future trends in cloud security
Cloud Forensics
- Forensics-as-a-Service
- Cloud application forensics
- Cloud Forensics readiness
- Digital evidence search and seizure in the cloud
- Cloud forensics analysis
- Incident handling in cloud computing
- Investigative methodologies
- Tools and practices in cloud forensics
- Challenges of cloud forensics
- Cybercrime investigation in cloud computing
- Legal aspect of cloud investigations
- Case studies related to cloud forensics
- Current and future trends in cloud forensics
