Summary

Seyed Hossein Ahmadinejad, an expert in identity and access management, believes that as more people recognize the significance of relationships between identities and connections among them, they will migrate from traditional databases to graph data platforms like Neo4j. He has been working on security, privacy, and identity and access management since 2008 and has experience deploying over a billion identities for clients globally. Ahmadinejad's company, Nulli, uses innovative ideas and solutions to address the challenges of identity and access management, which he attributes to the need to model complex relationships between entities in data storage. He notes that traditional relational databases are not scalable for this purpose, but graph databases like Neo4j can effectively navigate these relationships, making it a suitable choice for his company's projects. Ahmadinejad also uses Neo4j for data analytics and has successfully applied graph algorithms to simplify the management of complex entitlements and roles in identity and access management systems. He believes that as more people recognize the importance of relationships between identities, they will increasingly adopt graph databases like Neo4j for their security and access needs.
