A Cloud Forensic Readiness Model for Service Level Agreements Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud computing is increasingly becoming a target of cyber-criminal attacks. Often the committed crimes violate the Service Level Agreement (SLA) contracts, which must be respected by all the involved parties. Cloud Forensics is a branch of Digital Forensic discipline dealing with crimes involving the Cloud. A manner for leveraging some of the attacks is the provisioning of a Forensic Readiness capability, by performing some activities before the crimes happen. In this paper we introduce a model aimed to represent the management of SLAs through a cloud system.
