Figured I’d share my Grok weekly CyberSec Intel Security Threat Report prompt here,
This prompt has been revised a couple of times, but is useful enough to give a broad generic overview of the current threat landscape for the past week.
I set it up to trigger every Friday morning at 7AM and to email and notify me in the Grok app, that way it is sitting in my inbox ready for a nice easy start to my Friday morning with a wee cup of coffee before I start my day.
Its a pretty great starting prompt to then customise and configure how you like it, to insert your businesses own requirements, manufacturers you use, or technologies you wish to pay special attention too. By no means comprehensive, but for me has replaced my RSS reader alongside a similar daily task in Perplexity pro.
Anyway, here it is, simply copy/paste the below md into the task section on Grok, and set your scheduling requirements as needed,
**Task**
