Abstract :
Cloud Computing is becoming so popular among organizations, promising simplicity and delivering utilities based on virtualization technologies. Convenience, availability, elasticity, large storage capacity, speed, scalability, and on-demand network access are some of the attractions of the cloud computing. The adoption of cloud computing solution is increasing rapidly which makes it inevitable for digital forensics not to follow since major potential security risks are surrounded this new technology. This study provides an overview of cloud forensics including the issues and the existing challenges in order to give better future prospects and also offers some steps to be taken to overcome these challenges.
