Cartography

Cartography is a Python tool that pulls infrastructure assets and their relationships into a Neo4j graph database.

What it connects: AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, GitHub, Okta, Entra ID, CrowdStrike, and 30+ more platforms.

Questions it answers:

  • Which identities have access to which datastores? How about across multiple tenants, or providers?
  • Am I affected by any critical vulnerabilities or compromised software packages?
  • What are the network paths in and out of my environment?
  • Which compute instances are exposed to the internet?
  • What AI agents are running in production, and what permissions do they have?

Visualization of RDS nodes and AWS nodes

Quick Start

Install Cartography

Start Neo4j database

docker run -d --publish=7474:7474 --publish=7687:7687 -v data:/data --env=NEO4J_AUTH=none neo4j:5-community

Confirm that http://localhost:7474 is up.

Sync your first data source (AWS example)

Ensure your AWS credentials and default region are configured (e.g. via AWS_PROFILE, AWS_DEFAULT_REGION, or ~/.aws/config). See AWS credentials docs for reference.

Run Cartography:

cartography --neo4j-uri bolt://localhost:7687 --selected-modules aws

See the full install guide for other platforms.

Query the graph

Open http://localhost:7474 and try:

// Find unencrypted RDS instances by account
MATCH (a:AWSAccount)-[:RESOURCE]->(rds:RDSInstance{storage_encrypted:false})
RETURN a.name, rds.id
// Find EC2 instances exposed to the internet
MATCH (instance:EC2Instance{exposed_internet: true})
RETURN instance.instanceid, instance.publicdnsname

See the querying tutorial and data schema for more use-cases.

Run security rules

Check your environment against common security frameworks:

cartography-rules run all

See the rules docs for more detail.
