ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a cloud-based system called InXite, also called InXite-Security that is designed to detect evolving patterns and trends in streaming data. InXite comprises four major modules: InXite Information Engine, InXite Profile Generator, InXite Psychosocial Analyzer, and InXite Threat Evaluator and Predictor. InXite is designed to detect evolving patterns and trends in streaming data including emails, blogs, sensor data, and social media data such as tweets. This chapter focuses on the adaptation of InXite for security applications which we call InXite-Security. Data streams are emanating from numerous data sources including blogs and social media data. All popular social networking websites and other data sources that provide data in either structured or semistructured format are mined. The InXite person of interest threat analysis is a core InXite feature which combines several individual scores, some based on existing studies and some novel, to come up with a final score for evaluating the seriousness of as a potential threat.
