Emphasis on Forensic Workflow and Best Practices
Beyond just tool usage, Paraben’s educational content guides students through forensically sound methodologies. This includes understanding the importance of chain of custody, data integrity, and proper reporting – critical elements for ensuring evidence is admissible in legal proceedings. This procedural knowledge is as vital as technical skill.
By integrating a Paraben Educational Package, instructors gain Premium Membership level access, which significantly enhances their ability to deliver a cutting-edge curriculum. This exclusive access includes a separate software license for curriculum development, allowing professors to build dynamic lab exercises and demonstrate advanced forensic techniques directly within their courses. Premium Membership provides early previews of Paraben’s new technology developments, ensuring instructors stay at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital forensics and cybersecurity landscape. This allows educators to prepare students with the very latest tools and methodologies they will encounter in their professional careers.

Comprehensive Technology Workflow
Direct Exposure to Industry Tools
Students gain invaluable experience by working with Paraben’s E3 Forensic Platform, the same powerful software used by law enforcement, government agencies, and corporations worldwide. This direct interaction with professional tools allows them to understand not just the what of digital forensics (e.g., file systems, data carving), but the how – the actual workflow, interface navigation, and capabilities of the software they’ll encounter in their careers.
Digital Investigation Technology:
Paraben’s E3 Forensic Platform is a foundational, all-in-one solution for digital investigations. It streamlines the investigation process, providing robust capabilities for forensically sound data acquisition from diverse sources, comprehensive analysis to uncover critical insights, and secure data sharing for seamless collaboration, all within a unified interface.
DFIR AI Solution:
Paraben stands alone with Zandra AI, the only custom-designed AI platform specifically for DFIR (Digital Forensics and Incident Response). Students gain access to a comparable level of this groundbreaking technology through the InvestiGator AI system, enriching their learning experience with the very modern techniques they’ll leverage in their future careers.

Supporting Institutions of All Sizes
“Everyone is vulnerable to cybercrime today through security breaches of organizations, identity theft, online bullying, ransomware, plus numerous other vulnerabilities. With the explosion and use of mobile devices it is imperative that our students gain hands-on training in the field so that they can market themselves for top jobs upon graduation. Mobile Forensics was introduced as part of the Cyber Forensics and Information Security degree at Robert Morris University (RMU). We have trained hundreds of students that have taken the course and hundreds of faculty from across the country have been trained in mobile forensics as part of an NSF grant for Mobile Forensics and Security. Robert Morris University has chosen Paraben as the preferred software to teach mobile forensics. It allows our students the ability to have hands-on access to the tools used in industry. Additionally, Paraben has offered a price that works with academic institutions. The company’s belief is to put their product into as many hands as possible so that students will have developed skills upon graduation to enter the workforce. Lastly, the technical support given by Paraben is top notch.”
