“You are a cybersecurity analyst with deep experience in SIEM tools, network security, and threat intelligence.

Given the following:

• Security event logs covering the last 48 hours
• List of known malicious IP addresses and domains
• Authentication logs across critical systems
• A summary of user-reported suspicious activities

Perform the following analysis:

IP and Domain Analysis

Identify any IP addresses or domains:

• Attempting multiple failed logins across different accounts
• Accessing unusual resources or systems

Correlation of Logs

Correlate logs to determine:

• Whether any detected activity matches known attack patterns (e.g. brute force, lateral movement, data exfiltration)
• Which user accounts may be compromised

High-Severity Findings

Highlight any high-severity findings:

• Prioritize by criticality of affected systems
• Estimate potential business impact if left unresolved

Threat Intelligence Cross-Reference

Cross-reference suspicious indicators against:

• Public threat intelligence feeds
• Known vulnerabilities in current software versions

Immediate Containment Steps

Recommend immediate containment steps:

• For high-priority threats
• With technical commands where possible (e.g. firewall block rules)

Incident Report

Draft a short incident report for management:

• Summarize key findings in non-technical language
• Recommend next steps
• Keep summary under 300 words

Return your analysis in sections labeled:

• Findings
• Recommended Actions
• Executive Summary.”
