Locking Down Azure Synapse Analytics
Details
Abstract: Azure Synapse Analytics is a complex system, combining dedicated SQL pools, serverless SQL pools, Spark pools, and more. With such a broad scope, it can be difficult to understand what you need to secure and how you can lock it down. In this talk, we will first review the Azure Synapse Analytics surface area. Then, we will introduce settings and procedures to protect data at rest, in transit, and during processing. Finally, we will review several tools you can use to increase your security posture and reduce the risk of data exfiltration.
