Another Brick in the Firewall: How to Secure your Azure Data Platform

The cloud has made it easy for us to deploy a virtual network here and a private endpoint there, but what does a good, networked data platform actually look like, and how does it work? Simple things become complex: how will Fabric or ADF talk to my data sources? How do I securely access my resources to do development?

In this session we will look at some of the core network components which can be used to secure your data platform; what they are, and how to use them effectively. We will also look at some of the decisions that need to be made when moving your data platform inside a private network, which weren't a consideration previously. Some basic knowledge of what a virtual network is is required.

By the end of this session you should feel more confident in working with network components in Azure and how you can use them to secure your Data Platform.
