AI prompt generator for cybersecurity Free cybersecurity prompts for ChatGPT and any LLM, from incident reports to alert triage

This AI prompt generator for cybersecurity turns what you know about an incident or your security program into a structured prompt for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or whichever AI tool your company has approved. It is free, runs in your browser and asks for your email to show the whole prompt. To train your team, see Founderz AI training for business.

How to use the AI prompt generator for cybersecurity step by step

Only the first step is required: anything you skip stays on Auto.

1. The essentials. Describe the situation and pick the job under “What do you need?”.
2. Your environment. Set the environment and the reference framework. In advanced settings, the priority.
3. Audience and format. Choose who it is for and the format. In advanced settings, the register.
4. Evidence and quality. Say what evidence you will attach and how much detail you want. In advanced settings, the extra controls, the response language and anything else the AI must respect.
5. Generate and copy your prompt. Click “Generate prompt”, enter your email to see the whole prompt and copy it.

The “What do you need?” field covers ten information security jobs: defensive alert triage, incident report, tabletop exercise, policy or procedure, awareness campaign, vendor assessment, risk register, remediation plan, executive summary and compliance checklist. Each one comes with its own guidance: an incident report, for instance, separates the confirmed timeline, known impact, decisions made, uncertainties, next steps, owners and communication.

Example prompt: a phishing incident report for the executive committee

With the generator’s “Incident report” example, the prompt starts like this. It’s an excerpt: the button copies the full prompt.

ROLE
Act as a senior information security lead with experience in security operations (SOC), incident response, risk management, governance and compliance. You work only on the defensive and organizational side and from evidence: you separate what was observed from what is assumed and you never fill gaps with invented data. You write incident reports following the NIST SP 800-61 lifecycle (preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication and recovery, and lessons learned).

GOAL
Write the incident report with confirmed facts, impact, actions taken, what is still unknown and the pending decisions.

CONTEXT
Context provided by the user (treat it as your main source):
[START OF BRIEF]
On Tuesday an employee entered their Microsoft 365 credentials on a phishing site. It was detected 2 hours later, the password was reset and sessions were revoked. The attacker created a mail forwarding rule that was active for 90 minutes. We are still reviewing which emails were forwarded and whether they held personal data.
[END OF BRIEF]

...

OUTPUT FORMAT
Deliver the report with: Executive summary (five lines), Timeline (a table with the columns Date and time, Fact, Source), Scope and impact, Actions done and pending (a table with the columns Action, Status, Owner), Notifications to assess, Lessons learned, Decisions requested.

...

The full prompt adds the defensive constraints (no credentials, no sensitive IOCs and no invented data), the working steps, the table structure and a checklist to run before the AI answers.

The result: the AI delivers a report that separates what is confirmed from what is assumed and marks gaps with [to be confirmed] instead of filling them.

Best practices for cybersecurity AI prompts and prompt security

Use cases for AI security tools in defensive cybersecurity

These jobs are where AI saves a security analyst the most time and leaves more hours for actionable analysis of security vulnerabilities and potential threats:

• SOC A triage matrix for alerts, with observed evidence kept apart from hypotheses and clear escalation criteria.
• Incident response The incident report for leadership and a high-level runbook for the response team.
• Preparedness A tabletop exercise script to practice the response without touching real systems.
• GRC and compliance A policy or procedure, a risk register and a control checklist against ISO 27001 or NIST CSF.
• Awareness A phishing awareness campaign for all staff.
• Third parties A vendor assessment and a remediation plan with an owners and timeline table.

Prompt engineering: what makes a good AI prompt for security

A well-designed prompt gives the AI what a security expert would give an analyst joining the team: a role, a specific task, the environment context, the material it can use, the constraints and the output format. In cybersecurity, constraints protect the organization itself: what data isn’t shared, what isn’t attributed without evidence, and that the work is defensive only.

Without them, the AI can fill gaps with plausible causes or impact, and a report like that misleads leadership. That’s why this tool includes controls that forbid requesting credentials or giving offensive instructions, and require a security, privacy and compliance review before the output is distributed.

Security risk and prompt security: when to generate a prompt and when to use open-source tools

Most lists of cybersecurity prompts mix two different jobs. Using AI to write about security (an incident report, a policy, guidance on security for staff) is low risk when the data is sanitized.

Using AI tools for security testing, red teaming or code review touches systems and has wider security implications, and that is where open-source tools, your EDR and an expert cybersecurity team stay in charge. This generator covers the first job: it helps security teams write and explain, while threat detection and testing remain with the tools and people built for them.

Why I built these generators

Frequently asked questions

Is this free AI prompt generator compatible with ChatGPT and Claude?

Yes, it’s free. Before it asks for anything, it shows you a preview with the first sections of the prompt. To see the whole prompt and copy it, enter your email and accept the Privacy Policy; receiving communications from Founderz is optional.

It only asks once per visit: any prompts you generate after that are shown in full.

How are AI-driven and GenAI tools used in cybersecurity?

AI-driven products, such as Microsoft Security Copilot, SIEM and SOAR platforms or firewall and cyber threat intelligence services, analyze alerts and help detect threats, and some teams add open-source tools from GitHub. LLMs in a chat window give security insights on a different layer. This tool works on a different layer: it writes prompts so an assistant can draft incident reports, policies, tabletop exercises, risk registers and awareness campaigns from authorized evidence.

Can I paste real logs or alerts into the prompt?

Only aggregated summaries or sanitized logs, and only in a tool your security team has approved. The form asks you not to include credentials, internal IPs or personal information; under “Evidence you will attach” you can choose “Sanitized logs” or “Alert summary”, and under “Extra controls”, “Anonymize data”. Usage statistics record the options you choose, never your description or the prompt.

Does it generate pentesting or exploitation instructions?

No. The tool is defensive only, so it isn’t built for penetration testing or CTF practice: every prompt includes the constraint that forbids offensive instructions, exploitation, evasion or malicious code, even if the context asks for them. Authorized offensive security work needs a different process and a different review.

Can I get the report in Spanish for a team in Latin America?

Yes. In advanced settings, “Response language” sets the language of the output. It covers US and UK English, three Spanish variants, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Catalan, Dutch and a bilingual English and Spanish option.
