Human Cyber Forensics Conference: Exploring the Human Element for Cloud Forensics

Cloud infrastructures are pervasive, morphing game-changers that will greatly impact the digital forensic world of data discovery and evidence collection. The sheer number of endpoints and resources to which the cloud connects is expected to be extremely problematic, as well as, revolutionary in such areas as - adaptive social engineering, scalability, ownership of data, privacy laws, risk management frameworks, strategic competitive intelligence and forensics. Consequently, innovative cloud technologies will be needed requiring reexamination of current laws, policies, security control standards and protocols for tracking, continuous monitoring, and mitigation of human threats.

The conference will explore emerging human cyber/cloud forensic methods, attitudes, applications, and technologies. We will discuss the impact on current applications, methods, policies, security control standards, and legalities. The presenters in this conference will provide a base from which to actively engage the audience in pragmatic discussions, laying a foundation for path forward.

Conference Highlights:

• Human Dimensions and Cyber/Cloud Forensics
• User Behavior Models and Cloud Forensics
• Workshops on using human methodologies for web-scraping and cloud analytics
• Workshop on understanding human cloud forensics within a risk management framework
• Policy, Security Control Standards, and Legal Concerns of Human Cloud Forensics

Who should attend?

The community of data collectors, evidence analysts, cyber-cloud innovators, policy makers, CTO, CIO, providers, brokers, cyber students, and customers involved in security control standards, law makers, and those who are curious in understanding the human science usage in cloud crimes, security, and operations.
