Cloud Forensics and Incident Response
The world is advancing, and so is the data required for investigations. Cloud platforms have transformed how data is stored and accessed, limiting examiners’ ability to directly interact with systems and rely on traditional data extraction techniques. Unfortunately, many examiners still attempt to apply ancient on-premise methods to cloud-hosted platforms. Instead of resisting this shift, they must adapt and utilize the opportunities presented by new cloud-specific evidence sources.

Course Description
Course Insight
The world is advancing, and so is the data required for investigations. Cloud platforms have transformed how data is stored and accessed, limiting examiners' ability to directly interact with systems and rely on traditional data extraction techniques. Unfortunately, many examiners still attempt to apply ancient on-premise methods to cloud-hosted platforms. Instead of resisting this shift, they must adapt and utilize the opportunities presented by new cloud-specific evidence sources. This course equips examiners with the skills to navigate the fast-changing landscape of enterprise cloud environments by uncovering evidence unique to the Cloud.
Prerequisites
This is an intermediate to advanced course centered on cloud infrastructure and log analysis. It equips students with the skills to utilize cloud-provider-generated data, which enhances, substitutes, or expands upon the artifacts covered in earlier cloud security courses.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Incident response team members who need to detect, investigate, solve, and recover from security incidents in cloud-hosted environments.
- Threat hunters aiming to understand and counter advanced threats more effectively.
- SOC analysts, seeking to interpret alerts, triage events, and fully utilize cloud log sources.
- Experienced digital forensic analysts wanting to deepen their expertise in cloud-based investigations.
- Information security professionals supporting data breach responses and intrusion management.
- Federal agents and law enforcement professionals, wanting to master advanced cloud intrusion investigations.
- Anyone seeking to expand their skills with cloud-based forensics.
Target Audience
- Cloud Security Engineer
- Incident Response Analyst
- Digital Forensics Investigator
- Cloud Systems Administrator
- Cybersecurity Analyst
- DevSecOps Engineer
- IT Security Manager

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?
- Gain insights into forensic data that is available, exclusively, in the cloud.
- Apply best practices in cloud logging to enhance Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR).
- Explore the logs available in Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace for comprehensive analysis.
- Master the use of Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud Platform to collect critical evidence.
- Transfer your forensic workflows to the cloud for swift and more efficient data processing.
This empowers examiners to embrace the advanced capabilities offered by major cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS, and Google Cloud Platform. These platforms offer access to unique evidence sources that are not found in traditional on-premise investigations. From cloud-based network traffic monitoring to hypervisor-level evidence preservation, forensics isn’t dimming—it’s evolving with cutting-edge technologies and possibilities.
Incident response and forensics revolve around tracing attackers’ breadcrumbs, which are primarily found in logs. Understanding the investigation process is more crucial than the technicalities of log acquisition.
This course weighs upon log analysis to equip examiners with cloud-specific investigation techniques. It covers the types of logs available in the cloud, their retention policies, default activation status, and how to interpret the events they record.
Hands-on labs throughout the class replicate real-world scenarios, allowing examiners to analyze evidence from common incidents. Data will be accessible within your VM for a consistent lab experience, guiding you on where to source information and how to uncover malicious activity.
BUSINESS TAKEAWAYS
- Grasp the concepts of digital forensics and incident response in cloud environments.
- Be able to detect and analyze malicious activities taking place within the cloud.
- Utilize cloud-native tools and services for DFIR in a cost-efficient manner.
- Make sure that the organization is prudent to handle cloud-based incidents effectively.
- Minimize adversary dwell time in compromised cloud environments.
WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE?
- SOF-ELK Virtual Machine: An openly available appliance built on the Elastic Stack, customized with the course author’s configurations and lab data. This preconfigured VM is designed to ingest cloud logs from Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and Google Workspace, helping students navigate the diverse volume of records encountered in typical investigations.
- Case Data: Real-life scenarios provided for hands-on assessment during the class.
- Electronic Workbook: A detailed guide with step-by-step instructions and practical examples to help students gain proficiency in cloud forensics.

I had the privilege of receiving training on Alibaba Cloud from Orbus International, and it was an exceptional experience. The content was well-structured, and the trainers were highly knowledgeable, making complex concepts easy to grasp. I feel much more confident in my skills now, thanks to the quality of training delivered.

“Content explanation is too good where even those new to SailPoint also can understand the content but as I don’t have much practice about programming language it was bit difficult for me to follow up else it’s too good .
Just one drawback/ feedback is practice time for LAB could’ve been for one more additional week where I could’ve got more hands-on and get myself well equipped.”
