  8. Cloud Forensic for GCP
    Cloud Forensic for GCP
    SouthStone Publications

    In Google Cloud, the compromised system you need often disappears before you can touch it. This practitioner's guide shows you how to pursue attackers through Cloud Audit Logs, IAM, and ephemeral infrastructure instead, with runnable gcloud commands and BigQuery queries for every step.

  9. Cloud Forensic for AWS
    Cloud Forensic for AWS
    SouthStone Publications

    Master AWS incident response from CloudTrail to courtroom-ready evidence. Learn to acquire EC2 and container evidence, trace identity-based attacks, investigate S3 exfiltration, and build forensic readiness, all through three real-world incidents walked end to end.

  10. Cloud Forensics for Microsoft Azure

    Azure investigations don't start with a disk image, they start with the control plane. This field guide walks incident responders through Azure's logging architecture, identity attack chains, VM and container forensics, and evidence acquisition at cloud scale, with three full attack scenarios worked end to end.
