Abstract: Electronic feeds, for example, online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc. are used to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss for a networked computing environment (e.g. cloud computing environment). In one embodiment, a set of electronic feeds is accessed S1. A query S1 is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria, e.g. keywords, pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. In response to the query being issued, a set of results is received S3 in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results such as, for example, a quantity of 'hits' meets S4 one or more predetermined event criteria such as, for example, a predetermined threshold. Responsive to the at least one property being met, a set of remedial actions to be taken to address the possible event may be identified S5 and implemented prior to an occurrence of the possible event. Therefore, event prediction takes place and preemptive remediation action is taken to e.g. avoid disaster/loss/failure etc. Events such as weather, geologic, biological, epidemic, electric grid, transportation infrastructure, malicious action are considered. Remedial actions such as re-location of processing (shifting data centre), evacuating personnel and/or backing-up data are taken.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to an approach for using electronic feeds (e.g., online news feeds, social media resources/websites, etc.) to predict potentially harmful events and take preemptive measures/actions to minimize and/or avoid loss. In a typical embodiment, a set of electronic feeds (e.g., news feeds and/or social networking website feeds) is accessed. A query is then issued against the set of feeds based on a set of search criteria pertaining to a possible event having a potential to adversely affect the networked computing environment. A set of results is received in a computer memory medium of the networked computing environment. It may then be determined whether at least one property of the set of results (e.g., a quantity of ‘hits’) meets one or more predetermined event criteria (e.g., a predetermined threshold).
