Prompt Details
This prompt is designed for dynamic cybersecurity threat detection across various AI platforms. It leverages contextual information to tailor the analysis and provide actionable insights. The core prompt can be adapted and extended based on the specific platform’s capabilities and available data.
**Core Prompt:**
“`
Analyze the following security logs and network traffic data for potential cybersecurity threats, focusing on [specific threat type, e.g., malware, intrusion, data exfiltration]. Provide a detailed report including:
* **Threat Identification:** Clearly identify any detected threats with supporting evidence from the data. Categorize the threats based on established frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK.
* **Severity Assessment:** Assess the severity of each identified threat based on potential impact and likelihood of exploitation. Use a standardized scale like CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System).
* **Root Cause Analysis:** Determine the root cause of each identified threat, including the initial attack vector and any subsequent lateral movement within the network.
* **Actionable Recommendations:** Provide specific and prioritized recommendations for mitigating the identified threats. Include both short-term containment actions and long-term preventative measures.
* **Data Context:** Consider the following contextual information to enhance the analysis: [dynamically insert context details – see below].
**Data:** [Provide the security logs and network traffic data in a suitable format for the AI platform. This may include JSON, CSV, CEF, or other formats.]

**Dynamic Contextual Information:**
The following information should be dynamically inserted into the `Data Context` section of the prompt to refine the analysis and improve accuracy:
* **Timeframe:** Specify the time period for the analysis (e.g., last 24 hours, last week, specific date range). This focuses the analysis on relevant events.
* **System Information:** Provide details about the systems involved, such as operating systems, applications, and network topology. This helps identify system-specific vulnerabilities and tailor the analysis accordingly.
* **Known Vulnerabilities:** Include information about any known vulnerabilities in the systems being analyzed. This allows the AI to prioritize threats related to these vulnerabilities.
* **Threat Intelligence:** Integrate threat intelligence feeds from reputable sources. This can include information about emerging threats, known malicious actors, and Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
* **User Behavior Baselines:** Provide baseline data on normal user and system behavior. Deviations from these baselines can indicate anomalous activity and potential threats.
* **Previous Incidents:** Include information about previous security incidents, including their root causes and mitigation strategies. This helps prevent similar incidents from occurring again.
* **Specific Concerns:** Specify any specific concerns or areas of focus for the analysis. This allows the AI to prioritize certain types of threats or investigate specific systems.
* **Compliance Requirements:** Specify any relevant compliance requirements, such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, or GDPR. This ensures that the analysis considers compliance-related risks.
**Example of a Completed Prompt (with dynamic data):**
“`
Analyze the following security logs and network traffic data for potential cybersecurity threats, focusing on ransomware. Provide a detailed report including [report structure as defined in the Core Prompt].
**Data Context:**
* **Timeframe:** Last 72 hours
* **System Information:** Windows Server 2019, Apache Web Server, PostgreSQL Database
* **Known Vulnerabilities:** CVE-2023-1234 (Apache Web Server vulnerability)
* **Threat Intelligence:** IoCs associated with the LockBit ransomware group
* **User Behavior Baselines:** [JSON data containing baseline user activity]
**Data:** [Security logs and network traffic data in JSON format]

**Best Practices for Prompt Engineering:**
* **Clarity and Specificity:** Be precise in your requests. Avoid ambiguity and clearly define the desired output format.
* **Iterative Refinement:** Experiment with different prompt variations and parameters to optimize the results.
* **Data Quality:** Ensure the provided data is accurate, relevant, and in a format that the AI platform can process effectively.
* **Security Considerations:** Be mindful of data privacy and security when providing sensitive information in the prompt. Avoid including personally identifiable information (PII) unless absolutely necessary.
This dynamic prompt allows security analysts to leverage the power of AI for efficient and targeted threat detection. By tailoring the contextual information, the analysis can be focused on the most relevant threats, leading to faster identification, mitigation, and improved overall cybersecurity posture.
