Forensic Artifacts in Free Tiers of Azure, GCP, and AWS

Track 1
5 Feb 2022 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

As individuals and companies look for ways to save money, cloud providers incentivize choosing their service over others. Unless they are demoing a security project, security isn't a forethought until an incident happens. Free cloud tiers are the focus, as there may not be money invested by the individual/organization, especially in something like a project demo. There are two simulated threats, so we cover what artifacts are generated, and opinions on the ease and quality of the information.
