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:

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 »

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 »
