At the same time, the amount of data has also increased. The need to use cloud or big data solutions for digital forensics to be able to efficiently process the permanently increasing amount of data and number of cases has been recognised for years. By using public cloud providers, such as Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure, to secure and analyse digital evidence, resources could be used in a scalable and flexible way. Forensic service providers have had to keep a large number of data carriers for forensic backups because they have to be available immediately in case of an emergency and cannot be procured only when needed.enDigital Forensicscloudbig datadigital evidenceText/Conference Paper10.18420/inf2023_751617-5468
