In today’s fast-paced world, customers seek organizations that have a robust online presence. Thus, a majority of organizations rely heavily on digital devices and the internet to operate and improve their business. As large amount of information is produced, accumulated, and distributed via electronic means, these devices are often vulnerable to cyberattacks.
This is where digital forensics plays an important role. Digital forensics is a scientific investigation process in which computer artifacts, data points, and information are collected around a cyberattack. Understanding digital forensic procedures help organizations capture vital information that can be used to prosecute a suspect that compromises digital devices or networks. With the increasing demand for such services, several new Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) service providers are emerging in the market today.
Established in 1999, Paraben Corporation is one of the elite few DFIR companies that have been around for more than two decades. Since its inception, the company has been a foundation in solutions for mobile devices, smartphones, email, hard drives, and gaming system forensics. The company is a brainchild of Amber Schroader (Founder and CEO of Paraben Corporation). Amber has been a leader in the field of computer forensics for over thirty years and is recognized as one of the driving forces for innovation in digital forensics.
A Remarkable Career
Ms. Schroader’s grandparents immigrated to the US and opened a small business. Growing up watching them, she was inspired to open a business herself. Ultimately, when she designed the first tool for mobile forensics twenty years ago, she was fascinated—and thus was driven to make a difference in digital forensics.
Ms. Schroader specializes in mobile forensics, enterprise forensics & discovery, and hard drive and media investigations and recovery. In her exceptional career, Ms. Schroader has developed over two-dozen software programs designed for the purposes of recovering data from hand-held devices such as cellular phones and PDAs, computer hard drives, and large-scale computer networks capable of storing data from several thousand computers.
With an aggressive development schedule, Ms. Schroader continues to bring forth new and exciting technology to the computer forensic community worldwide. She coined the concept of the “360-degree approach to digital forensics”, pushing for a big-picture consideration of the digital evidence acquisition process. As an accomplished curriculum developer and instructor, Ms. Schroader has written and taught numerous classes for this specialized field. She is a sought-after keynote speaker, expert witness, and has appeared on NBC Nightly News. Presently, as the Founder, CEO, and Chief Architect of Paraben Corporation, Ms. Schroader is responsible for the company’s exclusive line of digital forensic solutions.
