Established 1999, Woman Owned Business

Since 1999, Paraben Corporation has been driven by a singular mission: problem-solving. We started by tackling consumer issues, and under the visionary leadership of Amber Schroader, we pivoted to digital investigations. This shift allowed us to become pioneers in the field, developing cutting-edge solutions for complex technology challenges across mobiles, IoT, gaming devices, and email processing.

At our core, Paraben has always been about finding that needle in the haystack through innovative technology. Our strength lies in the powerful combination of our skilled team, advanced technology, and deep expertise, giving us an unparalleled edge in data investigations.

At the heart of Paraben Corporation is our visionary founder and CEO, Amber Schroader. With 34 years of experience, Amber has pioneered the development of groundbreaking technology for extracting digital evidence from a wide array of sources, including hard drives, email, handhelds, and mobile devices. These innovations are all showcased within our powerful E3 Forensic Platform.

Beyond her role as an innovator, Amber is a renowned educator in the field. She’s developed numerous courses spanning computer forensics, wireless forensics, mobile technologies, email analysis and extraction, and network forensics. Her expertise has made her a sought-after speaker, delivering keynote addresses at countless events and appearing in national and international media, including NBC Nightly News.

While not the biggest extrovert, Amber passionately pursues her love for practical skills, culinary creation, and all things sci-fi.
