The rapid proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices brings forth both significant challenges and innovative opportunities for forensic science. These systems, increasingly prevalent in public spaces, businesses, educational institutions, homes, and shared offices, generate vast amounts of data at lightning-fast speeds in diverse formats. IoT devices can serve as suspects, digital witnesses, or tools in criminal activities and cyberattacks, presenting novel investigation challenges, forensic issues, security threats, legal concerns, privacy concerns, and ethical dilemmas. A cyberattack on IoT devices can target the device itself or associated systems, particularly critical infrastructure.

This book delves into the advancements in IoT and Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) forensics, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of these fields. The first objective is to explore the origins and evolution of IoT forensics, shedding light on why and how it has emerged as a highly promising and widely embraced technology worldwide, with numerous applications across various industries.

The second objective is to familiarize readers with the use of CPS to address complex computational problems. CPS forensics is a rapidly evolving domain, offering numerous advancements and opportunities. This book is designed to cater to the specific interests of readers by organizing its topics in a manner that is relevant to their respective areas of expertise. The overarching goal of this book is to assist each reader in recognizing the significance of IoT and CPS forensics in their careers or areas of interest.

In addition to presenting numerous case studies from a global perspective, this book compiles a substantial body of literature and research from a comprehensive database. This approach ensures that the book effectively conveys the concerns, difficulties, and trends surrounding the topic, while also encouraging readers to engage in critical thinking and analysis.

By exploring the intersection of IoT and CPS forensics, this book provides valuable insights into the evolving landscape of digital forensics and cybersecurity. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals, researchers, students, and anyone interested in staying informed about the latest developments and challenges in this field.
