In this talk, we explore how to architect data platforms that embed data governance, security controls, and compliance policies into the infrastructure layer. Without strong governance and robust security, organizations risk exposing sensitive data, facing compliance failures, and incurring unnecessary costs.

We’ll also examine how governance plays a critical role in identifying unused, redundant, or orphaned datasets that silently consume vast amounts of storage and compute, allowing organizations to optimize resources.

Having completed this session, you will understand:

• The challenges of an increasingly complex data landscape and how the latest technologies can be used to overcome them.
• How AI can be used responsibility as well as some of the challenges of implementation.
