Earlier this week, we released a feature in Purview to use private endpoints for your accounts. Implementing this feature can unlock the following for you:
1. You can use private endpoints to allow clients and users on a virtual network (VNet) to securely access the Purview Data Catalog over a Private Link.
2. The private endpoint uses an IP address from the VNet address space for your Azure Purview account.
3. Network traffic between the clients on the VNet and the Purview account traverses over the VNet and a private link on the Microsoft backbone network, eliminating exposure from the public internet.
4. You can also ensure network isolation for your metadata flowing from the source which is being scanned to the Purview Data Map using ingestion Private endpoints.
