Grok Research

This page is a collection of prompts used with X's "Grok" AI. These prompts are useful for cybersecurity researchers in understanding current threats, vulnerabilities, exploits, etc.

Prompts I've engineered

"Write a daily cyber threat report, including new exploits, vulnerabilities, and malware"

This prompt generates an excellent overview of current cyber threats, victims, etc. Great way to keep up to date on current cyber threats.

"Write a list of recent press releases highlighting cybersecurity vendor announcements"

Great prompt for keeping track of what's happening in the vendor space in cybersecurity. This can also be enhanced, such as: Write a list of recent press releases highlighting cybersecurity vendor announcements in the identity and access management space.

Prompts suggested by Grok, and my analysis/recommendations:

"Search for any mentions of our organization or key personnel in the context of potential cyber threats or vulnerabilities."

This is a very generic prompt, and would be better modified to include the actual organization name. Example: Search for any mentions of [OUR ORGANIZATION] in the context of potential cyber threats or vulnerabilities.

"Identify emerging cyber threat trends and tactics that are relevant to our industry and infrastructure."

Once again, this prompt needs to be modified.
Example: Identify emerging cyber threat trends and tactics that are relevant to [INDUSTRY NAME] industry and infrastructure.

"Monitor for any discussions related to specific malware, ransomware, or hacking techniques that could pose a risk to our systems."

Modify this prompt to be technology based, for example Wordpress.
Example: Monitor for any discussions related to specific malware, ransomware, or hacking techniques that could pose a risk to our systems running [TECHNOLOGY].

"Assess the potential impact of recent security incidents or data breaches on our organization, and provide recommendations for mitigating risks."

Since Grok likely doesn't have info on your recent security incidents, this might work better if run against partner or supplier organizations to address supply chain attacks.
Example: Assess the potential impact of recent security incidents or data breaches on [ORGANIZATION], and provide recommendations for mitigating risks for partner organizations which may be affected.

"Analyze the sentiment and credibility of sources discussing cyber threats to our organization or industry, and highlight any potential misinformation or disinformation campaigns."

Analysis pending

"Detect any suspicious or malicious activity related to our digital assets, such as domain squatting, phishing attempts, or unauthorized access."

"Stay up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity news, research, and best practices to ensure our organization remains prepared for emerging threats."
