IgniteGraph is a client layer for using Apache Ignite as a graph database. It is an implementation of the Apache TinkerPop interfaces.
IgniteGraph is a contribution to the PredictiveWorks. initiative to leverage Cyber & IoT analytics side by side. Graph database technology and graph analytics is an excellent fit for this use case.
Connecting IoT device readings on the one hand and e.g. information from Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures on the other hand, generates insights about potentially malicious behavior of sensors and devices.
IgniteGraph (currently) ships with two different Ignite Data Streamer applications to ingest events from FIWARE enabled IoT networks and OpenCTI threat intelligence.
FIWARE brings a curated framework of open source software components to accelerate and ease the implementation of smart IoT platforms and solutions. The main components comprise and information hub, the FIWARE Context Broker, and a set of IoT Agents (IOTA) to interact with devices via widely used IoT protocols and bridge between multiple message formats and a common NGSI v2 and NGSI-LD based format.
From an analytics perspective, it is preferable to connect to a (single) Context Broker and receive device notification in real-time and in NGSI format, instead of interacting with plenty of individual data sources.
Just to name a few of the IoT protocols supported by the FIWARE framework:
ISOXML LoRaWAN LWM2M over CoaP MQTT OPC-UA Sigfox
FIWARE is not restricted to these protocols, and also provides an agent library to build custom IoT Agents.
OpenCTI is a unified open source platform for all levels of Cyber Threat Intelligence. A major goal is to build and provide a powerful knowledge base for cyber threat intelligence and cyber operations.
OpenCTI ships with a variety of connectors to widely known threat intelligence data sources like AlienVault, CrowdStrike, FireEye and MISP, MITRE ATT&CK and more.
