Cloud forensics Incident Response
RCCE students will learn how to collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence in cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP. RCCE students will learn to acquire cloud-native logs including CloudTrail, Activity Log, and Audit Logs, preserve volatile cloud resources before termination, reconstruct attacker activity across cloud services, analyze IAM permission changes, investigate unauthorized resource provisioning, and build forensic timelines from distributed cloud telemetry. The course covers legal considerations for cloud evidence, chain of custody in shared responsibility models, and forensic imaging of cloud-based virtual machines. This incident response course prepares students to act decisively during security incidents with structured workflows and clear decision frameworks. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn containment, evidence collection, eradication, and recovery procedures specific to this domain. Students practice incident scenarios that build the composure, coordination, and documentation skills essential for effective incident handling.
