A practical, in-depth guide to Cartography, the open-source tool that maps your infrastructure and security assets into a queryable Neo4j graph. Learn how Cartography answers the connected security questions siloed tools cannot: the asset and relationship visibility problem, the sync and intel-module architecture, the graph data model, data ingestion from many sources, querying with Cypher, security use cases (attack paths, exposure, blast radius), analysis jobs and drift detection, and operating Cartography in production.
