RAG Neuron Spiral: 50 Domains of Cybersecurity
🔗 Connect with the Knowledge SourceThis conceptual model structures the 50 cybersecurity domains within a spiral neuron network. Each domain (Neuron Node) contains its core concept and links to relevant Knowledge Sources (Synapses). The spiral implies continuous learning and interconnectedness, while the RAG aspect suggests retrieving and augmenting knowledge from these sources for deeper understanding.
