Seceon Cloud Forensics — Public, Private and Hybrid Investigation
Seceon Cloud Forensics · Ver-2.0-2026

When There Is No Disk to Seize, You Still Need One Case

Seceon Cloud Forensics turns control-plane, identity, network, workload and storage evidence into one searchable investigation across AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Nutanix, OpenStack and Hyper-V — public, private and hybrid.

Cloud Investigation | Seceon OTM

Stop Investigating Each Cloud as a Separate Incident

Cloud evidence is scattered and short-lived. Seceon OTM collects it continuously, correlates it once, and keeps it long enough to investigate when detection comes late.

1
Evidence model

Public cloud, private cloud and hybrid estates in the same schema and case.

CCE
Collect & correlate

API connectors, log streams, object-store buckets and agents into one pipeline.

LTS
Look-back retention

Raw and normalised evidence under your policy when provider defaults have rolled off.

From Fragmented Logs to One Timeline

The problems below are cloud-forensics problems. None of them is fixed by asking the provider for a one-off export after the fact.

The Challenge

Why cloud evidence is hard

  • There is no disk to seize — only APIs, audit trails, flows and ephemeral workloads.
  • Default retention is brief; by the time you notice, the trail may already be gone.
  • Public cloud and private cloud each have their own consoles and formats.
  • Hybrid intrusions get investigated twice — once on-prem virtualisation, once in the tenant.

Our Solution

Preserve early, correlate across domains

  • Continuous ingest of control-plane, identity, network, workload and storage telemetry.
  • LTS retention so look-back investigation is possible when detection is late.
  • One investigation workflow for AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, Nutanix, OpenStack and Hyper-V.
  • Hybrid incidents as a single timeline from management plane to public-cloud API calls.

How Seceon Cloud Forensics Works

Every cloud investigation rides the same OTM pipeline: CCE, APE and LTS.

Collect

API connectors, log-streaming pipelines, object-store buckets and agent or syslog forwarders across accounts, subscriptions and clusters.

Normalize

CCE parses and enriches events into one evidence model so hybrid cases share fields, not spreadsheets.

Analyze

APE applies AI/ML, UEBA, threat intelligence and MITRE ATT&CK-mapped policies for prioritised leads.

Retain

LTS keeps raw and normalised evidence under your retention policy for look-back and audit.

Investigate

Search, timeline reconstruction, IOC/IOA hunting and case management across public and private sources.

Report

Integrity hashing, custody records and investigation packages suitable for management, audit and legal audiences.

Public Cloud and Private Cloud Evidence

Both domains matter — and hybrid incidents need both at once.

Public cloud telemetry

Control-plane audit (CloudTrail, Azure Activity Log, Cloud Audit Logs), identity and key usage, VPC/VNet flow and DNS, workload OS and Kubernetes audit, storage access and SaaS trails — including OCI and IBM Cloud on the same pattern.

Private cloud layers

Management plane (vCenter, Prism, OpenStack, SCVMM), hypervisor host access, virtual network and east-west flows, and guest workload telemetry via agents or EDR — so you see who created the VM and what then ran inside it.

Collect at the top of each hierarchy — organization trail, tenant-wide diagnostics, vCenter syslog or Prism Central — so new accounts and clusters are covered automatically.

Primary Investigation Scenarios

The cases cloud security teams meet most often.

Compromised identity / access key

Tie sign-in and STS/IAM events to API calls, regions and resources touched.

Misconfiguration exposure

Correlate config and audit events with subsequent data access and exfiltration paths.

Container / Kubernetes

Ingest cluster audit and runtime events; attribute actions to the creating identity.

Hybrid intrusion

One timeline from a private-cloud VM or jump host into a public-cloud tenant.

Insider / SaaS abuse

Storage and SaaS access logs with identity context and after-hours patterns.

Late detection look-back

LTS retention when default provider logs have already aged out.

Who It's For

The same platform, tuned to how each team consumes cloud evidence.

Cloud security teams

  • One case across multi-account and multi-cloud estates.
  • Control-plane and identity correlation without manual joins.
  • Look-back when detection lags reality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which clouds are covered?

Public: AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and IBM Cloud. Private: VMware, Nutanix, OpenStack and Microsoft Hyper-V, plus containers, identity providers and SaaS — including hybrid and air-gapped estates.

How is this different from traditional digital forensics?

Traditional forensics seizes disks and memory. Cloud forensics works through provider APIs, audit logs, flows, snapshots and management-plane records. Seceon keeps both in one investigation model when an incident crosses environments.

What must be enabled for evidence to exist?

Evidence exists only for sources onboarded before or during the incident, and only for the LTS retention configured. Collection at the top of each cloud hierarchy is recommended so new accounts and clusters are covered automatically.

Can it run without outbound internet?

Yes. OTM supports on-premises, sovereign and air-gapped deployments. Air-gapped environments are planned with each customer because transfer processes and security rules differ.
