7 AI Prompts for Cyberattack Pattern Analysis

15-Second summary

CTI teams are buried in attack data, making it difficult to see what’s relevant and then extract insights across attacks. The Cyberattack Agent helps you filter through that data to the attacks that matter to your organization. Ask AI is now available in the Cyberattack Agent to help you analyze attack patterns so you can act fast.

Run your own prompts across multiple attacks:

• to quickly assess attack vectors and understand how threat actors operate.
• to surface campaign patterns, profile threat actors, extract TTPs, and turn raw attack data into ready-to-share intel in minutes.

Here are seven use cases that show what that looks like in practice.

Overview

There’s roughly one cyberattack every 39 seconds; that’s over 2,200 attacks per day. For CTI analysts, the challenge isn’t just keeping up with the volume, but making sense of it fast. They need to quickly identify patterns across multiple attacks, connect related campaigns, and understand how threat actors are evolving their tradecraft. This requires hours of manual comparison, and even then, critical connections can get missed.

Ask AI in the Cyberattack Agent brings personalized AI prompting into your existing threat research workflow. Analysts can run custom queries across up to 100 cyberattacks at once to surface patterns and insights that would otherwise take hours to piece together.

From assessing specific threat actors and mapping active campaigns to generating reports tailored to your stakeholders, Ask AI transforms your workflow from manual, time-consuming attack-by-attack analysis into fast, comprehensive intelligence.

Example 1: Threat landscape overview

Use this prompt to generate a structured, 30-day intelligence report on cyberattacks targeting your region and industry and provide a ready-to-share briefing that keeps stakeholders aligned on sector-specific risks over time.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

Based on the selected attacks, generate a threat landscape overview for [region] and [industry]. Include the most active threat actors, predominant TTPs, commonly targeted assets, and any clustering in campaign activity that reveals how the threat environment is evolving within this dataset.

Ask AI Response:

Example 2: Attack Vector Assessment

Quickly assess how attackers gained their foothold by extracting and analyzing the attack vectors behind incidents. For each vector, you can surface what was exploited, how it was leveraged, and why existing controls failed to stop it, then walk away with a prioritized list of the highest-risk entry points to close before the next wave hits.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

Given the following incidents, identify and summarize the attack vectors the threat actor used to succeed. For each vector, explain: (1) what it was, (2) how it was exploited, and (3) why it worked (e.g., misconfiguration, human error, unpatched vulnerability, weak controls). Present the vectors in chronological order based on when each was exploited. Conclude with a prioritized list of the most critical entry points to address, ranked by severity and likelihood of recurrence.

Ask AI Response:

Example 3: Threat actor research

Build a comprehensive profile of the new threat actors behind attacks by surfacing each actor’s known motivations and sponsorship ties, TTPs, targeted sectors, and recent behavioral shifts. This gives you the intelligence foundation to anticipate their next moves, assess your organization’s exposure, and keep stakeholders informed on who is actively operating in your threat landscape.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

Which threat actors are most active across these attacks? Create a threat actor profile for each, including an executive summary, identity and attribution, motive, victimology, capability assessment, modus operandi, strategic analysis, technical appendices, and references.

Ask AI Response:

Example 4: TTP and IoC research

Use this prompt to surface what’s new across the attacks in your Intel Agent. Ask AI will identify novel techniques, tactics, and procedures being leveraged in recent activity, along with associated IoCs, so you can update detections, refine hunting queries, and track how your known threat actors are evolving their tradecraft.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

What novel TTPs and IoCs are being leveraged in these attacks?

Ask AI Response:

Example 5: Data exposure and impact assessment

Ask AI will identify which types of data were exposed, which sectors or organizations are affected, and who is most at risk, providing an impact assessment to quickly scope the extent of a breach.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

For each breach, identify the organization affected and the data exposed. Then assess the third-party risk: if this organization is a vendor, partner, or service provider in my supply chain, what is the potential impact to my business operations? Flag any downstream risks including shared infrastructure, data flows, or dependencies, and prioritize which third-party relationships warrant immediate review or contingency planning.

Ask AI Response:

Example 6: Report generation for leadership

Ask AI will synthesize findings across all ingested attacks and package them into a report your team can share. For instance, if you are briefing your CISO or leadership team, Ask AI will deliver a clear, business-contextualized summary of what’s happening, what’s relevant to your organization, and where your team should focus next.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

My CISO has been asked about our exposure to the latest wave of attacks in our sector and region. Generate a focused briefing that answers: Are we a likely target? What TTPs should we be watching for, and do we have the controls to detect or stop them? Close with a short, prioritized action list framed around business risk and decision-making, not a full landscape review, just what leadership needs to respond with confidence right now.

Ask AI Response:

Example 7: Visualization

Get a visual breakdown of each phase of the attack chain, from initial access to impact, so you can quickly spot where campaigns converge, identify the most exploited entry points, and communicate the full scope of an attack in a visual manner.

Cyberattack Agent filter combinations:

Ask AI Prompt:

Visualize the attack chain for these incidents with a diagram mapping each phase from initial access to impact. Highlight the most common entry points, lateral movement techniques, and end-stage objectives across campaigns.

Ask AI Response:

Grounded in real sources and the Feedly Threat Graph

What sets Ask AI apart from generic AI tools is that every query is grounded in the Feedly Threat Graph, a continuously updated map of relationships gathered from 10,000+ sources. This means the response reflects what’s actually happening in your threat landscape now. Every answer is also fully cited, so you can trace findings back to their original sources and dive deeper into any piece of intelligence used to build the response.

In short…

Ask AI in the Cyberattack Agent gives CTI analysts a faster way to move from raw attack data to actionable intelligence. With it, you can quickly assess the attack vectors behind any incident, track campaign patterns, assess threat actors, scope a breach, or brief executives, all by running custom queries across up to 100 attacks at once, grounded in the Feedly Threat Graph.
