Cybersixgill launches AI tool to streamline threat reports

Cybersixgill, a global provider of cyber threat intelligence data, has unveiled its latest innovation, the IQ Report Generator. This new AI-powered tool promises to deliver comprehensive threat intelligence reports in a matter of minutes, a significant upgrade from the traditionally time-consuming process of creating such reports. Leveraging Cybersixgill IQ, the company's generative AI technology, the IQ Report Generator aims to considerably ease the workload for security analysts, threat hunters, incident responders, and Managed Security Services Providers (MSSPs).

Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) reporting is widely acknowledged as a critical component of an organisation’s cybersecurity strategy. According to a 2021 report by the Ponemon Institute, 77% of cybersecurity professionals deem CTI reports essential for informed and effective security-related decisions. These reports serve various stakeholders, including C-suite executives, SOC teams, MSSP customers, and business partners, by offering strategic, operational, and tactical insights.

However, the process of building these CTI reports is often arduous and time-consuming, detracting from the security teams’ ability to focus on more strategic tasks. The IQ Report Generator aims to address this challenge by allowing users to create detailed, custom reports almost instantaneously. By simply selecting a topic, target audience, and report format from dropdown menu options, reports can be generated with just a few clicks. This efficiency enables security professionals to allocate more time to thwarting cyberattacks.

The new tool is particularly advantageous for MSSPs, who often need to create multiple custom reports tailored to different client organisations. The IQ Report Generator not only streamlines the communication of investigation findings, insights, and recommendations but also assists MSSPs in communicating risk and ROI (return on investment) to their customers with greater ease and efficacy.

Gabi Reish, Chief Product Officer for Cybersixgill, stated, "Cyber threat intelligence reporting is an essential vehicle for threat analysts to share insights about imminent threats and cybersecurity events with various audiences in the organisation. The new IQ Report Generator, our newest application of Cybersixgill IQ generative AI-based CTI, gives security teams and MSSPs a powerful tool to streamline and expedite the creation of CTI reports and ensure accurate, relevant findings."

The IQ Report Generator is designed to enhance efficiency and improve the organisation of report creation. It supports the generation of a wide variety of CTI reports, including incident response reports, risk and compliance reports, executive-level communications reports, and third-party risk reports. This feature simplifies how threat analysts and MSSPs communicate findings and recommendations, thereby fostering a broader understanding of an organisation's risk posture among internal and external stakeholders.

By automating and accelerating the report generation process, the tool allows these teams to focus on more strategic aspects of cybersecurity, ultimately helping to better protect organisations against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, the company states.
