With the Microsoft Purview hub (preview) in Fabric, you can manage and govern your organization's Fabric data estate. It contains reports that provide insights about sensitive data, item endorsement, and domains, and also serves as a gateway to more advanced capabilities in the Microsoft Purview portal such as Data Catalog, Information Protection, Data Loss Prevention, and Audit.
In this module, you learned about the Fabric architecture and the role of an administrator for the Fabric platform. You also explored the different tools available for managing security and sharing, as well as the governance features that can be used to enforce standards and ensure compliance. Your understanding of how to manage a Fabric environment ensures that it's secure, compliant, and well-governed. With this knowledge, you're well-equipped to help your organization get the most out of Fabric and derive valuable insights from all your data.
