# Threat Intel Reports Overview

Learn how to work with threat intelligence reports in Cortex XSOAR 6.15.

Threat intel reports summarize and share threat intelligence research conducted within your organization by threat analysts and threat hunters. Threat intelligence reports help you communicate the current threat landscape to internal and external stakeholders, whether in the form of high-level summary reports for C-level executives, or detailed, tactical reports for the SOC and other security stakeholders.

Threat intel reports help address multiple relevant reporting use cases:

* **Global cybersecurity threats**. Report to colleagues and executives if, and how, such threats affected your organization, and what was done to remediate and prevent future attacks.
* **Periodic monitoring**. Keep track of infiltration attempts by adversaries within your industry vertical, and publish periodic status updates on any new behaviors.
* **Open source intelligence (OSINT) reports**. Aggregate highlights of external publications that should be actively brought to the attention of your SOC. This is usually done to ensure that relevant employees are up-to-date with the latest security trends so they can make more informed decisions.
* **Threat hunting**. Report to colleagues, and the larger threat intelligence community, about proactive searches for, and detections of, advanced threats not found by traditional prevention and detection tools.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-6-threat-intel-management-guides/6.15/reports/threat-intel-reports/threat-intel-reports-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
