Cartography

Cartography is an open-source Python security-graph tool originally built at Lyft that consolidates infrastructure assets and the relationships between them into an intuitive Neo4j graph. It ingests data from 30+ cloud, identity, DevOps, and security providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, Okta, Entra ID, GitHub, Kubernetes, CrowdStrike, and more) and lets security teams answer cross-provider questions such as "which identities can reach which datastores," "which compute instances are exposed to the internet," and "what are the blast radii of a compromised credential."

Cartography publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Security, Cloud Security, Graph, CSPM, and Neo4j.

The Cartography catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context.

Cartography’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, tutorials, release notes, and 6 more developer resources.
