Outbound Access Protection for Spark (Generally Available)

Outbound Access Protection (OAP) is designed to help restrict outbound connectivity from a Fabric workspace to help prevent data exfiltration. 

With OAP for Spark, Organizations can govern outbound connections from their Spark workloads in Fabric workspaces to external destinations and other Fabric workspaces within the same tenant providing organizations with granular controls to protect against data exfiltration.  

To learn more about Workspace OAP, refer to the Introducing Workspace Outbound Access Protection for Spark blog post or the Workspace outbound access protection overview documentation.

We are actively working to expand OAP support for additional experiences and plan to add support for Data Factory artifacts soon. 

Your feedback is essential! Let us know how we can make Fabric even more secure and flexible for your workloads by sharing your feedback at Fabric Ideas – Microsoft Fabric Community
