Planning to move your databases to the cloud but seriously doubt if your data is 100% secure? No matter if you are on-prem or in the cloud, making sure your data is protected in every angle possible is the most crucial and important step in building a secure data tier of an application. Let's dedicate this session to knowing the different multi-layer defense-in-depth security techniques and strategies available to armor your Azure SQL database. let's dive deep into each of these layers starting with the network security, Azure role-based access control (RBAC), data security at the row level, auditing, advanced threat protection, different layers of encryption, monitoring, and more. By the end of this session, you will have the knowledge to make the right security decisions for your environments and implement these techniques in securing your data.

Join the session hosted by Dan Graves, Delphix CTO, to learn modern best practices for delivering on-demand, ephemeral data into application development and analytics pipelines, whilst maintaining data compliance and governance. Data is a critical enterprise asset, but leveraging it fully poses challenges due to data sprawl, regulatory requirements, and volume. Learn pragmatic approaches for automating the delivery of on-demand, compliant data in the Microsoft data ecosystem, including the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform, to safely reduce data friction in software development and analytics programs.

One of the new applications within Microsoft Purview Governance Portal are Access Policies. Access policies in Microsoft Purview allow you to manage access to different data systems across your entire data estate. The big advantage of these policies is that you do not have to apply RBAC roles and you have an overview of all applied policies. Are you a data consumer? Then the self-service access policy is an easy way to request access to data while browsing or searching for data. Are you a data producer? Then access policies helps you to easily create and publish access to data sources In this session, I will explain and show you how to create and publish policies and how to set up a self-service access workflow.

Some types of data are a very bad fit for a database. Join me to see how to survive with a database full of data that should not be stored there. I will demonstrate how to deal with billions of rows of logs without trashing the database, how to store millions of pictures effectively and how to deal with dynamic attributes in a sensible way.
I will show you demos for how to implement each layer of defense. This way, if one layer is breached, you aren’t left defenseless. We will start at the outer layer with network access. Next, we will cover the authentication and authorization using Azure RBAC. Finally, we will protect the innermost layer with Data At Rest and Data In Transit encryption. Once these protections are in place, we’ll see how to monitor Azure SQL security ecosystem for intrusions with Advanced threat protection.
