English term or phrase: it

"There are a couple of unique problem sets in security that are right for machine learning, and right for different kinds of solutions," explains Ryan LaSalle, global managing director for Growth & Strategy at Accenture Security. He describes security as a "graph problem" because {it}'s a way of storing lots of data and everything is relationship-driven.
他称安全是个“图形问题”，因为它是存储大量数据的一种方式，一切都是关系驱动的。
请问这个it是指security吗？还是graph problem？还是指graph？

Explanation:
他称安全是个“涉及图形的问题”，因为它是存储大量数据的一种方式，一切都是关系驱动的。

在现有的资讯中，可以推导出it 是指security和"graph problem“，但是作者的本意是把两者看作同等的东西，因此其实无论it是指哪一个，翻译为”它“即可。

没必要、也没有可能分清楚it 是指security还是"graph problem“，因为句子本身没有提供让人能分清楚的足够的信息，因此，最理想的做法是翻译为”它“，

如果楼主觉得翻译成”他称安全是个“涉及图表的问题”，因为图表是存储大量数据的一种方式“ 比较通顺，I'd agree.
