Graph Research

AI with unparalleled visibility into your environment

Graph research is an advanced reasoning mode in Sola AI. In this mode, Sola AI maps the relationships and connections between resources, security controls, and risks across your app data sources.

It uses Sola’s proprietary security graph based analysis infrastructure and framework, to answer complex questions with a holistic view, contextualized data, and visually-backed responses.

This allows Sola to surface deep insights, providing:

  • Enterprise-grade reasoning - Responses are grounded in a security graph built from Sola’s domain expertise.

  • Valuable insights for complex cross-environment analysis - Each insight is traceable to relationships across entities and controls.

  • Security intelligence built-in - Combines context-aware reasoning with proven knowledge of risk, exposure paths, and misconfigurations.

  • Natural conversation, intuitive results - Ask your security question, Sola AI will analyze, map and generate a visual representation of your assets, identities, and security controls.

What graph research reveals

Graph research goes beyond basic analysis to provide you with contextual, robust, precise responses, with additional insights that are based on your connected data.

Each answer is complete and grounded in real security context, validated through identified connections between assets and controls.

  • Connection insights - Surface previously unseen connections and dependencies between different types of environments and assets

  • Toxic combinations - Detect risky interdependencies across platforms (e.g. overly permissive GitHub access combined with exposed AWS assets).

  • Blast radius for critical issues - Understand the full scope of impact from a single misconfiguration or compromised entity.

  • Security impact on infrastructure - Trace how issues in one part of your environment affect services, workloads, and teams elsewhere.

Visual representation of graph research

Sola AI provides a visual representation of relationships between assets and security controls.

The response includes a dynamic visual graph that illustrates:

  • How different systems, users, and controls are connected

  • Where risks originate and how they can spread

  • Which assets are impacted and how they relate to one another

How it works

When the graph research mode is enabled, Sola AI automatically decides when to activate it.

Graph research mode enable

For simple queries like “Who are my admin users?”, standard analysis is enough. For deeper, cross-system questions, Sola turns to graph research to generate an accurate response grounded in security knowledge and contextual data.

Sola’s graph is built from proprietary knowledge of cybersecurity architecture and risk patterns, that maps the connections between a wide range of asset types, security controls, and their relationships.

This knowledge is combined with your organization’s connected data sources to create a graph of real-time entities (such as users, roles, buckets, workloads, and more) and security controls (such as IAM, access levels, encryption, MFA, and more).

When analyzing a question, Sola AI:

  • Identifies relevant asset types.

  • Discovers meaningful relationships and connections across systems.

  • Generates grounded traceable insights based on entity interconnections.


FAQs

What is graph research in Sola AI?

Graph research is an advanced reasoning mode in Sola AI that analyzes relationships between assets, identities, and security controls. It generates contextual answers based on how risks, misconfigurations, and dependencies connect across your environment.

When is graph research activated?

Graph research activates automatically when Sola AI determines that a question requires deeper, multi-system reasoning. For example, it may come into play to answer questions like “What issues exist across my AWS and GitHub and their relationship?”

What makes graph research different from regular analysis?

Graph research leverages Sola’s proprietary security graph that maps entity relationships, revealing paths of risk, cross-platform dependencies, and high-impact security controls.

Can I turn off graph research?

Graph research is an optional mode. You can enable or disable it from the Sola AI copilot chat. Disabling Graph Research helps keep responses quick when deep reasoning isn’t necessary.
