Affiliates will deploy an enterprise cross-cloud data platform in minutes and ingest data so users can quickly build a "chat with their data" experience using LLMs. Users will learn how to apply a common, singular set of security & governance policies for all data workloads and be guided through a data sharing use case without moving or copying data. Dynamic data masking and differential privacy controls will be applied to show how protected data is not exposed, but can be used effectively to deliver analytical and AI value. This workshop will help users understand how modern tools and methods respect government data collection and usage policies while quickly delivering business value without compromise.
