Discover critical risks that could impact your company and the malicious actors behind them from Cybersixgill’s security experts. Each narrative sheds light on clandestine activities, the threat perpetrators involved, and the reasons for concern, as well as actions to reduce risk.
Security professionals encounter unparalleled hurdles as they endeavor to handle escalating workloads amidst constrained budgets, inadequate personnel, and expanding attack surfaces. Studies reveal that a majority of these professionals find their roles more challenging than ever, and a sizable portion is mulling over leaving their current positions due to the strain and demands of the job.
The importance of cyber threat intelligence (CTI) in anticipating and mitigating potential attacks is broadly acknowledged. Yet, security teams confront several obstacles in effectively leveraging CTI insights, which can transform a robust cyber defense tool into an additional encumbrance that security professionals must grapple with to fulfill their roles efficiently, further amplifying their stress and dissatisfaction. Such challenges encompass a lack of compatibility among cybersecurity tools, insufficient funding, and inadequate time. Nevertheless, 44% of respondents identified the primary hindrance as the absence of adequately trained staff or competencies to fully employ CTI.
The scarcity of adept cybersecurity professionals is a persistent issue that has spawned a disparity between the accessible CTI data and the capacity of security teams to act on it. This skills shortage, with a global shortfall of roughly 4 million cybersecurity workers, compounds the dilemmas faced by organizations in safeguarding themselves from cyber threats.
Another critical matter for cybersecurity teams is the frequent demands for reports from board members, senior executives, and other stakeholders. When major media outlets raise alarms about new, widespread malware, top executives naturally seek swift assurance and action from their cybersecurity teams. However, creating these reports is a time-intensive process. It entails aggregating data from diverse open sources, scrutinizing the details, and consolidating them into a comprehensive report. According to one survey, 60% of respondents allocate up to 40% of their time addressing such cybersecurity developments, time that is urgently required for other crucial tasks.
This issue is particularly acute for Managed Services Security Providers (MSSPs), who often need to summarize findings and relay them to multiple clients concurrently. The laborious manual effort demanded for this reporting can strain teams that are already overloaded.

- Response Reports for Incidents: Elucidating compromise indicators, attack timelines, impacted systems, and suggested measures.
- Briefings on Threat Intelligence: Evaluating key threat patterns, emerging threats, and their probable impact on the organization.
- Reports on Vendor Risk: Outlining risks from external vendors and aiding decision-making.
- Post-Incident Reports: Summarizing insights gained, suggestions for enhancement, and strategies to avert future incidents.
- Assessment Reports on Risk: Assessing overall cybersecurity risk, potential repercussions, and mitigation strategies.
By automating the report creation process, security teams gain more time to concentrate on proactive measures to prevent cyber assaults and are better equipped to tackle the skills shortage that might affect their organization. MSSPs, in particular, can communicate risk and return on investment to their clients more effectively, especially when they need to craft multiple bespoke reports tailored to each client organization.
The reports produced by IQ Report Generator furnish more than raw data; they dispense insights and recommendations for rectification, rendering them valuable tools for both strategic planning and instant action. The ability to generate succinct summaries for executives and detailed technical reports for security teams ensures that all stakeholders receive the necessary information in a format decipherable and actionable for them.
