Graph Driven Vulnerability Patching

This talk demonstrates how to patch software dependencies without breaking applications using graph-based intelligence and automated decision-making.

What is Graph Driven Vulnerability Patching?

Graph driven vulnerability patching is an intelligent approach to dependency management that represents all direct and transitive dependencies as nodes in a graph, connecting vulnerability data to each dependency along with version information and fix paths.

Key Topics Covered

• The Dependency Iceberg Problem
• Smart Patching Workflow (Map → Analyze → Calculate → Validate)
• Graph Intelligence Engine
• Google Cloud Platform Integration
• Breaking Change Prevention
• Live Demo: Traditional vs Graph-Driven Approach

Key Takeaways

By the end of this talk, attendees will understand:

1. How to visualize dependency relationships as connected graphs
2. The 4-step smart patching workflow for safe vulnerability remediation
3. How to prevent breaking changes through automated validation
4. Practical implementation using Google Cloud services
5. Why graph-based approaches reduce patch-related incidents by 85%
