17. eFraudy
A REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH BASED ON GRAPH ANALYSIS
With network analysis, we can be effective in detecting some of the most impactful
attacks - even from organized rings - by discovering suspicious connections naturally.
On the contrary, doing connected analysis is extremely difficult with traditional technologies
other than graph databases.

MICHAEL HUNGER @mesirii
Neo4j Engineer, Community Caretaker
Head of Development for APOC, SDN and many other contrib projects
I’m also very happy to announce that our partner LARUS from Venice,
Italy will support me going forward in working on APOC in a more
focused manner. With the help of their team, we will take care of the
open issues and feature requests and also add new cool stuff to APOC.
They already addressed a number of issues which are included in this
release. For example handling ElasticSearch scroll results…

27. INTEGRATION PROJECTS
OFFICIAL MAINTAINER OF NEO4J AWESOME PROCEDURES ON CYPHER (APOC)
Since version 3.0 you can extend Neo4j with user defined procedures, functions and
aggregate functions. The APOC library now contains more than 250 procedures from
all these areas:
• Graph algorithms
• Metadata
• Manual indexes and relationship indexes
• Full text search
• Loading of XML and JSON from APIs and files
• Collection and map utilities
• Integration with other databases like MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Cassandra and relational databases
• Date and time functions
• String and text functions
• Import and export
• Concurrent and batched Cypher execution
• Spatial functions
• Path expansion
