Description: With the rapid adoption of Kubernetes among the organizations such as IBM, Capital One,Netflix, and government organizations like the US department of defense, Kubernetes has become one of the
fastest-growing open-source software in the history of open-source with 77% of market share in container
orchestration. However, in recent Kubernetes security incidents in Capital One, Tesla revealed that the
Kubernetes cluster could be susceptible to attack. According to the Redhat 2021 survey, 94% of IT

Description: Recent cyberattacks have shown that the leakage/stealing of big data may result in enormous
monetary loss and damage to organizational reputation, and increased identity theft risks for individuals.
Furthermore, in the age of big data and Artificial Intelligence (AI), protecting the security and privacy of stored
data is paramount for maintaining public trust, accountability and getting the full value from the collected
data. Therefore, we need to address security and privacy challenges ranging from allowing access to big data
to building novel AI models using the privacy sensitive data. In this talk, the presenter will provide an overview
of our end-to-end solution framework that addresses these security and privacy challenges arise in the age of
AI. In addition, we will discuss our federated learning framework that is designed to be robust against
poisoning attacks.
A will be available within 48 hours of the presentation.
