Ms. Chinthala鈥檚 thesis was nominated on behalf of 国产短视频to the Math, Physical Sciences, and Engineering category for her thesis entitled "Exploring the Use of Machine Learning in Cybersecurity."
In her thesis, she examined the potential of using machine learning techniques to improve cybersecurity systems. Considering the FBI reports receiving an average of 2,000 complaints per day about cyber crime in 2020 alone, with over 4.2 Billion in losses [1] the need for enhanced security is an ever growing concern matched only by attackers鈥� increasing cleverness and subtlety.
