This chapter focuses on the key challenges in the design of multimedia-based scalable techniques for threat management and security of information infrastructures. It brings together several multimedia technologies and presents a conceptual architectural framework for an open, secure distributed multimedia application that is composed of multiple domains employing different security and privacy policies and various data analysis and mining tools for extracting sensitive information. The challenge is to integrate such disparate components to enable large-scale multimedia applications and provide a mechanism for threat management. The proposed framework provides a holistic solution for large-scale distributed multi-domain multimedia application environments.
