Incomplete Thought: Cloud Forensics and IR?

Taking a page of Chris Hoff’s method of posting incomplete thoughts, I found myself wondering why there is so little talk in security circles about performing forensics and incident response in public cloud environments. Do people just not care? Is it just easier to kill the image and spin up a new ‘clean’ image? Is it just too hard? Is there not enough guidance?

What’s up with that?

What would you say…you do here?

Even though a lot of people know where I’m working (CloudPassage) not everyone understands exactly what it is we do. Robert Scoble made an excellent video with our VP of Product Management, Rand Wacker, that concisely explains our product and its capabilities. As such, I figured it’d just be easier to post the video and refer people to it for the short term 🙂

P.S. Bonus points if you remember the movie that my blog post title is quoted from 😉
