SCOPE

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 workshop is aimed to contribute to this research on topics related to cloud security and forensics.
