The New Frontiers in Forensic Science

Rapid advances in cloud computing require new methodologies for 

performing digital forensics in cloud environments. More than an 

incremental change, cloud computing is expected to radically alter first 

responders’ and investigators’ operations.

Sessions will feature discussion of issues and actions:

- The Future of Forensic Science in the Cloud

- Challenges for Cloud Computing

Forensic Science

- The Path Forward to Achieve the Vision 

 Panel /Facilitated discussion

• What does the future state of cloud forensics 

look like?

• What are the barriers to implementing the 

future state?

• What does a road map to achieve the future 

state look like?

The National Institute of Standards and 

Technology is hosting a new workshop on 

Cloud Forensic Science. Join experts in the 

fields of cloud, digital forensics, and 

measurement for thought-provoking plenary 

talks, panel presentations, facilitated 

discussion, and networking around these 

themes:

• Perspectives on Cloud Forensic

Science

• The Vision for Cloud Forensic Science 

• Current State of Cloud Forensic 

Science -- Challenges and Lessons 

Learned

• Path Forward for Cloud Forensics
