Fabric Security for the Data Engineer

09:00 – 17:00, MONDAY, JUNE 2ND

About the Training day

Security is critical in any data platform—but in Microsoft Fabric, it’s evolving fast. This hands-on training day gives you the knowledge and practical tools to implement security best practices across your Fabric environment. From network boundaries to data-level access, this workshop goes deep into what matters most for data engineers working with sensitive and scalable data solutions.

And now, with the public launch of OneLake Security, this training just got even more valuable. You’ll get the first in-depth look at how OneLake Security works and how to implement it in your own environment. Leading this part of the workshop is Aaron Merrill, the Microsoft Program Manager for OneLake Security himself—giving you a unique chance to learn directly from the person driving this foundational feature.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to

Implement advanced network control and isolation using Private Link, Managed Virtual Networks, Data Gateways, and Trusted Workspace Access.

Secure data access at both workspace and item-level, and configure object-level and fine-grained permissions for different personas.

Apply OneLake Security features to ensure controlled and auditable access to lakehouse data.

Enable secure self-service analytics without compromising data governance.

Ensure regulatory compliance using features like Sensitivity Labels, Purview integration, data encryption, and audit logging.

This workshop is designed for

Data engineers, architects, and security specialists working with Microsoft Fabric. Whether you’re responsible for implementing network security, managing data permissions, or ensuring compliance, this workshop is tailored to provide practical guidance, actionable insights, and best practices—now including the latest on OneLake Security, directly from the team building it.
