How did you implement #security in your data estate? Are you sure it is secured end-to-end? Frequently, I come across half-baked security implementations where the front door is locked, but the back door is open.

How many times have you heard "copilot" in the past 8 hours? Probably a lot, and so do I! In everyday conversations with customers and colleagues it's mentioned at least every 10 sentences.
I decided to write down my take on copilot in a blog!
