Summary

The importance of cybersecurity has become increasingly clear as technology advances, with the risk of unauthorized access, change or destruction posing significant threats to individual and collective safety, security and human and economic well-being. The latest major cybersecurity incident at Equifax highlights the severity of this issue, with over 143 million US consumers potentially impacted by stolen personal information. Cybersecurity has become a big data problem, requiring flexible and scalable data solutions that can analyze vast amounts of rapidly evolving information. Graph databases, such as Neo4j, are an excellent match for this data, offering significant business value in terms of efficient querying and analysis, which leads to more informed decisions. The STIX specification, developed by MITRE, is a major advance for the cybersecurity industry, enabling collaborative threat analysis, automated threat exchange and detection capabilities. GraphAware, a leading Neo4j consultancy, is working to implement the STIX specification, recognizing that graph technology is the foundation of cybersecurity's future.
