The recent explosion of cyber threats in big data ecosystems has exposed the vulnerability of black-box machine learning models that prioritize accuracy over explainability. Traditional cybersecurity mechanisms do not create a sense as to why a prediction is provided and the analysts are left with doubts and the response mechanisms are slow. This is not very transparent and therefore compromises the operational trust and the traceability of high-risk decisions in real-time defense infrastructures. Current explainable AI (XAI) methods, despite their usefulness, are mostly stagnant, not connected to the changing situation of network behavior and human monitoring. They seldom inculcate the feedback mechanisms that can adjust the model explanations with new threat patterns. The research paper introduces an Explainable Artificial Intelligence and Data-Driven Security Analytics Framework that is hybrid and serves to combine global interpretability with SHAP, local reasoning with LIME, and adaptive refinement with an analyst-in-loop feedback layer. The architecture converts the threat detection to a self-fixing transparent process in which the analytical reasoning is dynamically developed with the data flow. In experimental tests of less than 10k concurrent traffic conditions, experimental results indicate that the system had a detection accuracy of 98.4 and Spearman correlation (0.91) between predicted risk scores and real levels of severity with a quantifiable 3.9% stability improvement over the similar XAI-based systems of intrusion detection. The combination of explainability with real-time analytics will further enhance the accuracy of detecting cyber threats and its interpretability reliability as well. The findings indicate the essential change to credible, self-explanatory, and adaptive security intelligence of the next-generation data networks.
