Paraben Is Back On Top With The Tool Every Digital Forensic Lab Should Have

SC Media states, “This belongs in every lab doing mobile device forensics. Not only is it a solid tool. It is perfect for triage. We make this our Best Buy this month.”

SC Media, a highly rated news source for the Cyber Forensics Industry, has once again named E3:DS as Best Buy in mobile forensics along with a 5-Star review on product performance. SC Media states, “This belongs in every lab doing mobile device forensics. Not only is it a solid tool. It is perfect for triage. We make this our Best Buy this month.” Paraben Corporation, the originator of mobile technology forensics with products such as PDA & Cell Seizure in 2001, continues to lead the way into the future of forensics focusing on mobile devices and IoT (Internet of Things).“It is rewarding to be acknowledged for all our hard work and commitment we have put into mobile forensics and it just shows that you can’t go wrong with good foundational technology such as E3:DS. Labs need to know that having a topped rank tool is not option it is a requirement to make sure you are producing the best possible evidence results.” commented Amber Schroader, CEO of Paraben

E3:DS is top-notch with a lot of options for any size lab. E3:DS is the comprehensive approach to mobile forensics in a single tool and can’t be beat. Having features such as logical imaging engine, physical imaging engine, data carving, cloud analysis engine, and an IoT engine in one tool it is like getting the swiss army knife of mobile forensics. Who would not want that to be in a lab where they fumble around with putting components of other tools together just to create something as powerful. E3:DS brings the uniformity to data that in the past has been spread to many different corners of the investigative process.

E3:DS has assisted in many investigations providing critical information in a timely manner. Chief Todd Faulkner, Hinsdale PD in New Hampshire, “In 2017 we handled an involved domestic violence case that resulted in the seizure and/or consent processing of multiple devices. This was almost completely a digital case and the processing of multiple devices as evidence was the only thing that would help solve the case. Knowing that power of Paraben DS I was able to take devices, while investigators were conducting interviews and process them before the interviews were completed. These were both new and older devices with different memory allocations and data. Paraben’s tool was so fast that I was able to keep up with the evidence load without difficulty. Upon indexing the information, a lot of data was identified in unallocated (deleted) space and the case was solved almost 100% on the forensics. It should be noted that the deleted information recovered discredited the statements being received from the device owner and supported impeachment of the witness and supported charges on the defendant.”
