Create Better Security Visuals with AI

Spotting AI-generated security images is easy: padlocks, shields, jumbled words, and that distinctive “AI look”; they rarely look decent.

I prefer ideogram.ai over Midjourney for security visuals since it rarely makes spelling errors, and the visual quality is solid.

However, OpenAI has improved ChatGPT 4o's image generation, and I’m impressed enough to share a couple of quick examples with you.

Prompt: generate a security awareness poster suitable in style for a tech startup - avoid cliche's and make it appealing to cloud engineers

One typo: Tarraform → Terraform

Prompt: generate an infographic breaking out the different AWS IAM controls and show their linkage. Make it technical enough for an engineer who wants to understand how IAM works so they can write good IAM policies

If your first image attempt needs improvement, use reflection: prompt the model to conduct a SWOT analysis of its previous creation, then ask it again to generate a revised image by incorporating the best of its recommendations and your ideas.

Similarly, existing images can be uploaded and combined in creative ways.

What non-cliche security visuals will you create?
