Amber Schroader of Paraben Corporation: A Digital Forensics Pioneer, Visionary, Leader and One of the Best in Our Field.
The Digital Forensics Files PodcastShow Notes
Amber Schroader is a true pioneer in the digital forensics industry. She has over 30 years of experience in the field, which is amazing given the state of technology at that time, the change in technology over the years and the fact that her company, Paraben Corporation is celebrating its 20th year anniversary this year! Congratulations of your accomplishments Amber!
A few months ago when I was brainstorming the idea that eventually turned into this podcast, I posted a comment in a Digital Forensics Facebook group to see if there would be any guests I could have on the show. I received a polite response from another member in the group saying she would like to help and give me a list of people to contact and ideas for content. I was so impressed by this gesture, but when I asked my new friend what she did, her response, "I own Paraben and we do tech and digital forensics." Since I was VERY familiar with Paraben, it's products and services, I was amazed to make such a connection in a common Facebook group about our field. But, that's Amber. After all this time, after all her accomplishments, she is so passionate about our field that she is still involved in as much as she can be about this field - Facebook groups, YouTube videos, presentations and putting on her amazing conference PFIC, now in it's 13th year.
Amber was a very interesting guest and touched on some interesting and real issues, like her less than ideal treatment as a woman in her profession. She is a genuine person, my fellow ginger & dog lover, an inspiring business woman and deserves all the success that she has worked so hard to achieve.
