These concerns include authentication, authorization, accounting (AAA) services; encryption; storage; security breaches; regulatory compliance; location of data and users; and other risks associated with isolating sensitive corporate data. Cloud forensic is cross discipline of cloud computing and digital forensics. With the rise of cloud computing, Digital forensics face the problems of increase in cybercrime and its investigation with different challenges. Digital forensic practitioners must then try to adopt and extend their digital forensic skills and tools into cloud computing environments as well as help cloud organizations and cloud consumers in establishing and developing forensic capability, as well as reduce cloud security risks. This paper discusses the emerging area of cloud forensics and highlights its challenges and opportunities.
