In today’s fast-paced threat environment, simply collecting cyber threat data isn’t enough — knowing how to translate that intelligence into clear, actionable business insights is what sets strategic CTI professionals apart. In this hands-on Upskill Challenge by Jennifer Funk, a CTI Operations Manager at a Fortune 500 company and Alt Funktion Founder, you’ll learn how to create effective Threat Landscape Reports (TLRs) that inform leadership decisions, prioritize security investments, and shift your CTI team from reactive to proactive.
We’ll walk through how to think critically about business needs, structure impactful reports, avoid common pitfalls, and deliver intelligence that drives real action. You’ll also get a practical walkthrough of creating a TLR for a fictional company, preparing you to hit the ground running in your cybersecurity career. Whether you’re new to CTI or looking to sharpen your strategic communication skills, this course will equip you with the tools and confidence to turn intelligence into influence.

What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for “UC – Threat Landscape Reports (TLRs)”
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. No outside research is required.
