Forensics in the cloud is complicated by lack of physical access, but it remains essential for investigations. This episode examines how evidence is acquired from cloud platforms, how chain of custody is maintained, and which tools support forensic readiness. We emphasize that evidence must be gathered in a way that preserves integrity, even when dealing with ephemeral workloads.

On the exam, forensic scenarios often ask you to recognize what can be collected, how it should be preserved, and how cloud contracts affect evidence handling. By mastering forensic processes, you’ll demonstrate readiness to handle investigations that balance technical, legal, and operational constraints. Produced by BareMetalCyber.com.
