Cyver Core Reports 50% Reduction in Pentest Reporting Time with Generative AI
AMSTERDAM, March 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cyver Core (Cyver BV) reports business results for cybersecurity teams leveraging automation with GenAI.
'Cyver Core delivered a Generative AI product to our users in 2024 and since then, we've seen significant results on time-savings, especially across enterprise teams. Reporting obligations are greatly reduced, freeing up skilled labor for value-added tasks and reducing the need for additional hires inside over-burdened teams,' said Luis Abreu, CEO of Cyver Core. 'Those cost savings can't be ignored in a world where the World Economic Forum predicts we have a shortage of some 4 million cybersecurity professionals.'
Cybersecurity teams are under more time pressure than ever
Today, the World Economic Forum suggests that there's a global shortage of some 4 million cybersecurity professionals. 67% of organizations report a moderate-to-critical skills gap in cybersecurity. New threats like AI-driven attacks and the option to generate malware mean attacks have increased as much as 7x, leaving cybersecurity teams stretched. Attacks on open-source supply chains have also increased by as much as 700% over the last 3 years.
That's further stretched by recent changes to global cybersecurity regulation, most notably the European Union's NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act, the US National Cybersecurity Strategy, and even the Singapore Operational Technology Cybersecurity Masterplan. Those regulations increase the burden for cybersecurity testing inside of organizations, especially critical infrastructure, while shifting personal responsibility to cybersecurity leads.
Much of what cybersecurity teams spend their time on is not cybersecurity
Despite the shortage in skilled labor, many cybersecurity teams still invest a significant portion of time into overhead work. One survey showed that 20-60% of pentest project time is spent on reporting. Cybersecurity professionals spend an average of 2-14 hours per cybersecurity assessment on reporting. With red teaming and threat-led pentesting, those timelines can increase by 35% or more.
Many of those reports are 100+ pages and must be further broken down as a second step to enable remediation and fixes. Inside organizations, cybersecurity teams spend 20%+ of their time manually managing findings.
Reducing time spent on overhead and reporting with GenAI
With Cyver Core's generative AI solutions, that time expenditure drops by 85%. Where teams without Cyver Core report spending 50-70% of reporting time on copy paste, teams using Cyver Core reduce that to just 16-20%. Cyver Core's generative AI product for pentest reporting writes custom descriptions, remediation information, and is able to generate drafts from lists of information. Using it, cybersecurity professionals report that time writing unique content goes from 20-70% of report time to 20%. In addition, the total time per report drops from 4-14 hours to 2-5 hours, saving 50% across even the most complex of reporting projects.
Those time savings are consistent across 50+ initial adopters, including multiple enterprise teams encompassing Fortune 100s. Across the full group, users saw an average 50% reduction in time-to-report, with 79% of cybersecurity teams saying they were able to complete more projects.
At Cyver Core, we deliver pentest report automation and pentest management through a cloud platform. With tools to automate overhead like reporting plus workflows and team management, Cyver Core is designed around the needs of pentest teams to take the focus off managing work and bring it back to cybersecurity and remediation.

Amid cost pressures, US employers are shifting their benefit strategy, WTW survey finds
More companies expanding choice, tackling high cost and reallocating benefit spend NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As U.S. employers grapple with heightened economic uncertainty and greater financial pressures on budgets, steering the right course on benefit strategy is more challenging than ever. This is according to a survey by WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), a leading global advisory, broking and solutions company. As a result, companies are turning to smarter spending, sharper focus and using benefits as a strategic tool to drive engagement, retention and purpose. The 2025 Benefits Trends Survey found rising benefit costs to be the top issue (90%) influencing U.S. employers' benefit strategies in 2025, up from 67% in 2023. Other top concerns include competition for talent (52%), expectations for an enhanced employee experience (43%), cost of living (39%) and rising mental health issues (32%). 'After a long period of high benefits inflation and in the face of a possibly weakening economy, employers are taking a step back and looking to focus on what drives real value for employees and the business. That means targeting support and spending on the benefits that matter most, enabling personalization and helping employees make better decisions,' said Jeff Levin-Scherz, Population Health Leader, North America, Health & Benefits. As the cost of medical care continues to show double digit growth in the U.S., employers face greater challenges in delivering their strategy in key areas such as health benefits (44%), wellbeing programs (44%), and leave benefits (36%). To address these concerns, employers are shifting their strategy. Few are expanding their benefit portfolio, choosing to instead focus on extracting value from their current offerings and improve financing, employee experience, analytics and administration. Compared to just 8% in the past year, 63% of employers plan to reallocate or rebalance spend in the next three years. A majority (73%) plan to tackle high costs by enhancing value or switch to better-value vendors across health, retirement and risk benefits. Just under half (44%) plan to tackle high-cost medical conditions and 37% plan to adopt a network of preferred medical providers. Eager to address employee pressure points, companies are also looking to improve the following priority areas over the next three years: maximizing value, mental health, health benefits, financial wellbeing and family support. Many plan to increase their use of communication and use nudges and navigation solutions to influence behaviors and enhance the employee experience. Regularly reviewing vendor performance, including employee feedback, is also a key action employers are taking. 'Organizations are facing more pressure than ever to deliver the right benefits strategy. Finding innovative solutions for old and new challenges and reallocating spend on benefits that deliver true value is a good start. There is still a long way to go to address these pressure points, but employers are headed in the right direction by focusing on what matters most to their employees,' said Levin-Scherz. About the survey The 2025 Benefit Trends Survey was conducted from early March to mid-April. Respondents include 696 U.S. employers, representing a broad range of industries in both the private and public sector. About WTW At WTW (NASDAQ: WTW), we provide data-driven, insight-led solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital. Leveraging the global view and local expertise of our colleagues serving 140 countries and markets, we help organizations sharpen their strategy, enhance organizational resilience, motivate their workforce and maximize performance.

U.S. commercial insurance rates continue downward trend, dropping to 5.3% increase
Commercial Lines Insurance Pricing Survey: Q1 2025 NEW YORK, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- While U.S. commercial insurance rates demonstrated an increase of 5.3% in the first quarter, the rate continued a downward trajectory compared with the prior two quarters (increases of 5.8% and 5.6%), according to the latest findings from WTW's Commercial Lines Insurance Pricing Survey (CLIPS). The survey compares premiums for policies underwritten during the first quarter of 2025 to those for the same coverage lines in the respective quarter of 2024, demonstrating a year-over-year comparison. Carriers reported an aggregate price increase of 5.3% in the first quarter, down from 6.3% recorded in the first quarter of 2024. Some coverage lines stood out with respect to price change rates in the quarter. Notably, Commercial Auto maintained a double digit increase but lower than prior quarter, while Commercial Property continued a strong downward pricing trend, with just a slight increase for the first quarter, compared to double digit increase a year prior. Additionally, Professional Liability rates displayed a higher increase this quarter but is still relatively low compared to most of the other lines. Yi Jing, Senior Director, Insurance Consulting and Technology (ICT) at WTW, commented, "In the first quarter, we witnessed some interesting trends. Overall, the continued reduction in rate increases is a positive sign for buyers. However, consistent double-digit rate jumps for areas like Commercial Auto signify continued pricing difficulty in the market. The only other coverage area maintaining double digit rate increases is Excess / Umbrella Liability." CLIPS is a retrospective look at historical changes in Commercial Property & Casualty insurance (P&C) prices and claims cost inflation. A forward-looking analysis of Commercial P&C trends, outlook, and rate predictions can be found in WTW's Insurance Marketplace Realities series.

CLIPS participants represent a cross-section of U.S. P&C insurers that includes many of the top ten commercial lines companies and the top 25 insurance groups in the U.S. This survey compared prices charged on policies written during the first quarter of 2025, with the prices charged for the same coverage during the same quarter of 2024. For this most recent survey, 41 participating insurers representing approximately 20% of the U.S. commercial insurance market (excluding state workers compensation funds) contributed data.
