## Abstract
We introduce , a novel technique for automatically learning system
call filtering policies for containerized microservices applications. At
run-time, automatically learns which system calls a program should
be allowed to invoke, while rejecting attempts to call spurious system calls.
Further, addresses many of the shortcomings of state-of-the-art
static analysis-based techniques, such as the ability to generate tight filters
for programs written in interpreted languages such as PHP, Python, and
JavaScript. has a simple and rob
