After getting my hands on Ganesh Ramakrishnan and Mansoor H.’s amazing book, finally finished reading it last night. Chapters 5-7 stand out as a treasure trove, offering a great overview of the Big 3 cloud platforms and their associated forensics artifacts. Overall, it was a fantastic read !

I think that my favourite thing about this book is that the authors have done an excellent job of breaking down some of the more complex concepts and challenges that are unique to the cloud into easily understandable sections, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced practitioners. The book offers practical insights, case studies, and step-by-step guides that are essential for anyone looking to enrich their understanding of cloud forensics. I particularly enjoyed the very timely and relevant coverage of data protection, privacy, and data retention/deletion legislation; the applicability matrix for some of the larger privacy regulations by jurisdiction is especially helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend this book to any professionals or students seeking to grow their expertise in the cloud forensics field.

The book is excellent for anyone interested in the forensic side of cloud technology. It’s well-organized and well-written, making it easy to follow. As a beginner myself, I found each section enlightening and never confusing. It goes deep on the technical side while still managing to explain everything thoroughly. The numerous well-done examples within each section also greatly enhance the learning experience and make it easy to follow along. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enter the DFIR/cybersecurity industry!
