Data and AI Security and Governance in Microsoft Fabric
📅 Tuesday, July 7, 2026 ⏰ 7:30 – 9:00 AM PT | 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM ET | 2:30 – 4:00 PM GMT | 3:30 – 5:00 PM WAT | 8:00 – 9:30 PM IST 📺 Free YouTube Livestream with Full Replay
This is Session 3 of the Microsoft Fabric Location Intelligence & Security User Group Data Days series, running June through August 2026. 🎙️
Microsoft Fabric gives your organization a powerful unified platform for data, analytics, and AI. But a platform is only as trustworthy as the security and governance built around it.
This session explores what it actually takes to secure your Fabric environment, govern your data and AI systems responsibly, and build the kind of trusted data foundation that regulators, executives, and AI agents can rely on.
Security and governance are not separate concerns. In Microsoft Fabric, they are the same conversation.
📍 WHAT THIS SESSION COVERS
Most Fabric training focuses on building. This session focuses on protecting, governing, and auditing what you build — with equal weight on security architecture and governance frameworks, because in practice they cannot be separated.
YouTube Livestream:
📋 TOPICS
🟣 Security Architecture in Microsoft Fabric • How Microsoft Fabric security is modeled through Entra ID, workspaces, and items • Role-based access control (RBAC) in Fabric: workspace roles, item permissions, and sharing • Row-level security and object-level security as practical tools for real analytics environments • Service principals and managed identities for automated pipelines and AI workloads • Zero Trust principles applied to Microsoft Fabric environments • Network security, private endpoints, and tenant-level security settings in Fabric • Securing AI agents and automated processes operating inside Fabric
🟢 Identity as the Control Plane • Why identity is the foundation of Fabric security, not an add-on • Microsoft Entra ID integration with Fabric workspaces and workloads • Conditional access, multi-factor authentication, and privileged identity management in Fabric contexts • Managing guest access, external sharing, and cross-tenant scenarios in Fabric • Service principal governance for pipelines, notebooks, and AI automation
🟠 Data Governance with Microsoft Purview • What Microsoft Purview is and how it connects to Microsoft Fabric • Data lineage: tracking how data moves through Fabric from source to report to AI output • Sensitivity labels and information protection in Fabric lakehouses, warehouses, and semantic models • Data catalog, data discovery, and business glossary for Fabric assets • Endorsement and certification of Fabric items as governance signals • Compliance requirements and how Purview supports audit and regulatory frameworks
🔵 Responsible AI and AI Governance in Fabric • What responsible AI means in a Microsoft Fabric context • Governing AI inputs: data quality, lineage, and access controls that affect AI outcomes • Governing AI outputs: auditability, explainability, and monitoring for Fabric AI workloads • Microsoft's responsible AI principles and how they apply to Fabric practitioners • Prompt injection, model security, and the emerging SC-500 Cloud and AI Security Engineer framework • Building AI governance policies that satisfy both technical and legal requirements • Privacy law considerations for AI systems operating on sensitive or regulated data
🩷 Practical Patterns and Takeaways • A security and governance checklist for Fabric practitioners • Common gaps organizations discover when they audit their Fabric environments • How governance and security skills differentiate Fabric professionals in the job market • Certification paths: SC-300, SC-400, SC-500, SC-100, and DP-600 as a combined governance and Fabric stack
👥 WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This session is for Fabric practitioners, architects, and data professionals who want to go deeper on security and governance, including:
✅ Fabric Data Engineers and Analytics Engineers responsible for secure data pipelines ✅ Security Analysts and GRC professionals moving into the Fabric ecosystem ✅ Fabric Architects designing multi-team or enterprise Fabric environments ✅ Data Governance and Compliance professionals working with Microsoft technologies ✅ Anyone preparing for SC-300, SC-400, SC-500, or SC-100 certification ✅ AI practitioners who need to govern and audit AI systems built on Fabric
No prior security certification required. 🛠️
📺 FORMAT
Interactive YouTube livestream with full replay available after the event. Bring your questions — this session includes live Q&A and is designed for both data professionals building security awareness and security professionals expanding into Fabric.
