CLOUD FORENSICS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- generating an instance from a client cloud computing environment, wherein the instance is generated without affecting the integrity of the client cloud computing environment;
generating a baseline of the client cloud computing environment;
benchmarking the instance based on comparison of the instance to the baseline;
verifying the benchmark based on a client policy; and
retiring the instance, if the benchmark is verified.

7. A cloud forensic system, comprising:
-
an instance gathering module (IGP) configured to extract instances from a client cloud environment while maintaining the integrity of the client cloud environment; a baseline module configured to generate a baseline of the client cloud environment based on a client policy; a benchmarking module configured to generate benchmarks based on comparison of each of the instances with the baseline; a verification module configured to verify the benchmark; a retirement module configured to retire one or more of the instances; a retention module configured to retain one or more of the instances; and a reporting module configured to report the one or more non-verified instances.

9. The system of claim wherein the retirement module is configured to retire the one or more of the instances if they are verified.
-
10. The system of claim wherein the retention module is configured to retain the one or more of the instances if they are not verified.
