Modern Analytics Academy - Security and Governance

Security and Governance explores topics related to security and data governance. While security topics can be specific, such as password management in Key Vault, they can also be more generalized like best practices for security in mixed heterogeneous environments. We’ll also look at data governance integration with Microsoft Purview, with a specific attention to how that integrates with analytical and data systems.

Data Governance is defined as the people, processes, and technology needed to securely and properly handle data across an organization. Microsoft Purview has been designed to help curate, identify, and manage that data, whether it be on-premises, in Azure, or in another cloud. In the main session, we'll explore Microsoft Purview's main features, with a number of demos and examples for you to explore on your own. more »

“Vignette” Sessions

Our ongoing Modern Analytics Academy series, which we’ve called “vignettes”, dive into topical areas related to analytics. For a complete list of sessions, visit the vignette page. The following vignettes are related to acquisition and storage:

In this Partner Showcase, we discuss securing AI apps using Terraform and Vault with David Wright from HashiCorp. Terraform, of course, is the widely used infrastructure-as-code tool. In this demo, David walks though how to leverage Vault along with Terraform to deploy the demo app using a PKI architecture. This is a sneak peek at David's build session that further explores this topic! more »
We frequently talk about data management and data governance from a software and technical perspective, but what about the people and the processes that implement data management? How do you know if your data management is sufficient? Where do you start if don't have any data management framework or governance? These are questions the EDM Council, and specifically their CDMC framework, strive to answer. In this showcase, Mike Meriton, EDM Council cofounder, discusses the history of the EDM Council and the CDMC framework. more »
In this session, we explore the practical benefits of Synapse Managed Virtual Network. Discover how this powerful solution enhances security, reduces network overhead and streamlines operations. more »
In this Partner Showcase, Microsoft Cloud Solution Architects Chris Mitchell and Brian Hitney discuss Master Data Management (MDM) and data governance with CluedIn CEO Tim Ward, who lends his insight on the industry and gives a demo of how CluedIn solves a common master data management problem. more »
Microsoft Purview represents partitioned data in a data lake using Resource Sets. In this video, we'll look at what resource sets are, how they work, and when you might need to use advanced resource sets for additional control over the resource set scanning process. See links below for references. more »
In this session, we will explore how you can simplify data consumers journey using Microsoft Purview self-service data discovery and data access management capabilities. more »
Extracting lineage -- the ability to weave together the lifecycle of data as it moves through the enterprise -- is challenging due to the complexities of many different systems. Microsoft Purview is able to extract lineage from an Azure SQL Database by examining the execution of stored procedures. This video looks at how it works, and how to set it up. Additional code snippets are here for the demos used in this session. more »
We know that security is job one in the cloud. In this session, we’ll explore how to secure both Synapse pipelines and notebooks using Azure Key Vault (AKV). more »
What is Data Governance? •
In this high level session, we'll explore what data governance is, why we need it, and the people, processes, and technology needed to implement a data governance strategy. This presentation is primarily for those new to data governance, looking for guidance on best practices, or planning a strategy for evolving their current data governance strategy. more »
