About this session
This session will focus on innovative uses cases for Graph Databases, with a special focus on Neo4j.
Here are the main topics for dicussion
Topics
Security specific
- Using Graphs in Threat Models
- Mapping out Cyber Threat Intelligence, for example using STIX
- Using Graphs for Risk Management
- Using GitHub Repos to hold Graph/Neo4J data
- Using Graphs to map network architectures, DNS entries
- Using Graphs to map Attack Trees and Real-World incidents
- Using Graphs to map AWS IAMs relationships and usage
Graph Specific
- The power of creating ‘search paths’ with Edges
- Why Jira + Elastic are a very powerful ‘Graph DB’
- Why being able to edit the nodes is so important
- Lightweight and Serverless Graph Dbs
- Graph algorithms
- Graph ML
Neo4J specific
- How Neo4J compares with Jira (when Jira is used as a Graph DB)
- Javascript APIs to visualise Neo4J data
- Using Neo4j with Hugo (and static generated sites)
- The power of screenshots of Neo4j visualisations
- Using Neo4J DBs as Cattle (vs Pets)
