The E3 Forensic Platform is the perfect cornerstone tool for digital forensic education. With a large variety of data types supported in the Platform, students can work and understand what artifacts stand out in an investigation. When using a new tool it is like driving a new car. It takes a moment for you to find out the workflow and how everything runs. We have a variety of orientation videos that will help you work through sample data or you can use these as tutorials with your own data.

Either way, take a few moments with us to get oriented to the Paraben paradigm for working with data.

Educational Starter

Our educational packages cover a license and 2 basic labs to get you started in the field. As examples, we have three different data sources available. For available labs, we provide one Android smartphone image with questions and one Apple smartphone image with questions. Enhanced and expanded labs are available with our larger educational packages.

“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) in January 2014. Since then, over 300 students have taken the course and over 150 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 the 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.”
