Graph and Entity Resolution Against Cyber Fraud

00Community, Releases, SecurityTags: , , ,

Estimated reading time: 4 minutes

With the growing prevalence of the internet in our daily lives, the risks of malware, ransomware, and other cyber fraud are rising. The digital nature of these attacks makes it very easy for fraudsters to scale by creating thousands of accounts, so even if one is identified, they can continue their attacks.
In this blog post, we will discuss how graph and entity resolution (ER) can help us battle these risks across different industries such as healthcare, finance, and e-commerce (for example, the US healthcare system alone can save $300 billion a year with entity resolution). You will also receive hands-on experience with entity resolution on ArangoDB.

Fraud is one of the most significant issues facing businesses today. While companies have always faced fraud, detecting fraudulent activity has become even more challenging due to increased online transactions. Globally, fraud results in more than $3.7 trillion in annual losses (Murphy, 2022). Fraud comes in numerous forms, including but not limited to money laundering, identity theft, account takeover, and payment fraud. Due to the variety of ways companies can face fraud, they must have a system to protect themselves and their customers.

RocksDB Integration in ArangoDB – FAQs

00Community, General, ReleasesTags: , ,

The new release of ArangoDB 3.2 is just around the corner and will include some major improvements like distributed graph processing with Pregel or a powerful export tool. But most importantly we integrated Facebook’s RocksDB as the first pluggable storage engine in ArangoDB. With RocksDB you will be able to use as much data in ArangoDB as fits on your disc.

As this is an important change and many questions reached us from the community we wanted to share some answers on the most common questions. Please find them below

Will I be able to go beyond the limit of RAM?

Yes. By defining RocksDB as your storage engine you will be able to work with as much data as fits on your disc.

Introducing ArangoDB snapcraft.io Packages

ArangoDB Packaging

With ArangoDB 3.0 we reworked the build process to be based completely on cmake. The packaging was partly done using cpack (Windows, Mac), for the rest regular packaging scripts on the SuSE OBS were used. With ArangoDB 3.1 we reworked all packaging to be included in the ArangoDB Source code and use CPack. Users can now easily use that to build their own Packages from the source, as we do with Jenkins. Community member Artur Janke (@servusoft) contributed the new ubuntu snap packaging assisted by Michael Hall (@mhall119). Big thanks for that!

Learn ArangoDB while contributing

00Community, GeneralTags: ,

We are fortunate to live in an open-source world with a fairly large international community of users and contributors, which has been only growing more and more in the past year. (Big thanks for that, by the way 😉 ) Especially that we have recently received quite a few requests on how one can contribute to ArangoDB in an easy and quick way, we have decided that the time has come to get closer to our community and get even more involved.

A lot of great ideas came up during a chat with some of our long-term users on how we could improve on that front. Among all others, the most straightforward one is asking the community for some help and support on GitHub. So we took a bit of time to go through open issues and selected a few now tagged ‘Help Wanted’. Here is a selection of easy tasks that will get you started contributing to ArangoDB with code or ideas and concepts for features. It is only a few to start with, but if you want to get involved we would appreciate your helping hand! Read more
