Microsoft Fabric makes analytics easy to start, but enterprise security teams still ask a simple question: what can connect to this workspace, and from where? This session brings clarity to inbound and outbound network traffic in Microsoft Fabric, using practical platform design patterns.

The session explains what inbound connections mean in a Fabric context, including user access, service APIs, and how clients reach Fabric workspaces. It then covers outbound connections, where Fabric workloads access data sources, Azure services, and external endpoints.

Next, the session introduces a clear environment separation model. Development and test workspaces remain accessible from the public network to support fast iteration and self-service analytics. Production workspaces, however, are isolated using managed networks and private link.

Throughout the session, we show how networking, identity, and workspace configuration must work together. You will leave with a clear understanding of inbound and outbound traffic flows and a practical option for designing secure, environment-aware Fabric platforms that meet both engineering and security requirements.
