Cloud Container Security’ Next Move, Vishakha Sadhwani

Dissertations and Theses

In the last few years, it is apparent to cybersecurity experts everywhere that the proverbial container tech genie is out of the bottle, and has been widely embraced across multiple organizations. To achieve the flexibility of building and deploying applications anywhere and everywhere, cloud native environments have gained great momentum and made the development lifecycle simpler than ever. However, container environments brings with them a range of cybersecurity issues that includes images, containers, hosts, runtimes, registries, and orchestration platforms, which needs the necessity to focus on investing in securing your container stack.

Decorrelated Deep Neural Networks: Learning Bias Invariant & Scanner Independent Features, And Causal Relationships Using A Novel Deep Learning Methods Based On Distance Correlation, Pranita Patil

Dissertations and Theses

Advancements in deep learning or deep neural networks have made it possible to reach expert-level performance in a variety of applications, even in challenging situations. However, a central challenge in all deep learning, as well as machine learning applications, is dealing with its dependency on the quality of data which can be significantly impacted by biases, confounders, and irrelevant variations in data which leads to spurious relationships and erroneous decisions. The main purpose of this dissertation is to build a robust deep learning model which considers and mitigates these biases. Another challenge with the deep learning model is learning associations …
