A Systematic Literature Review of Latest Cloud Forensic Frameworks, Tools and Challenges

Background: Cloud computing is widely used in this era of IoTs. Cloud users utilize cloud computing to access various cloud services. The defects in cloud services are exploited by suspicious actors. On the other hand, cloud forensics help against such suspicious actors. It has been observed on many occasions that cloud services were not well designed. Objective: Cloud computing with its services exposed to cyber threats, due to the bad implementation of cloud services, helps suspicious actors to exploit vulnerabilities in the cloud environment. The main objective is to identify different cloud forensic frameworks. Method: We have used the method of systematic literature review to find and analyze different research studies, which mainly are published between 2010-2022. Results: In this paper, we have discovered 36 different cloud forensic frameworks, with some forensic tools. In this SLR we also mentioned some challenges of cloud forensics with recommendations. Conclusion: This systematic literature review unveils the latest developments in cloud forensic frameworks, tools, and challenges. The insights provided in this paper will serve as an invaluable resource for future researchers in this domain, facilitating the enhancement of cloud security practices.
