#CyberSecurityPulse: New proposal to adapt U.S. Marine Corps capabilities to the new times

The head of the U.S. Marine Corps wants to remodel his team. The Marine Corps is considering offering bonuses and other benefits to attract older, more experienced Marines to re-enlist and develop cybersecurity capabilities as well. The measure marks a historic change that could transform a force composed primarily of high school graduates. "It's going to be a little bit older, a little bit more experienced because as much as we love our young Marines, we need a little more age because it takes time to acquire these kinds of skills", General Robert Neller told defense leaders at a conference in San Diego.

New tools: Metashield Bots, analyzing and cleaning metadata for everyone, from everywhere

Although metadata seems to be an old problem, it is still useful when you analyze leaked data, as in the Bin Laden hard disk case that we covered, and even it was a key piece in our research about Wannacry author, when we found out how the creator worked and even what his default language in Word was. We are introducing today a new way to use Metashield, for everyone and from everywhere since we have created bots for Telegram, Skype and Slack. It is easier than ever now. Let’s see.
