153. WAW DCPL - Don't Trust Your Data and Trigger Alerts

Come over to our usual place and join us for a meetup where serious data engineering topics are discussed with a straight face… and a slight grin. 

Artem Sokhin will bravely venture into the jungle of data‑centric Zero Trust, asking uncomfortable questions like “what do these controls actually do?” and “are we secure, or just hopeful?”. Then Michal Bojko will tackle everyone’s favorite productivity killer: alert fatigue — because nothing says “fun evening” like being paged 47 times for nothing. Expect practical insights, relatable pain, and solutions that won’t require meditation retreats (although they might help).

If you’re into building better, smarter, and more resilient data systems, this is the event to be at — so sign up, come by, and spend a great evening with the community!

Zero Trust for Data: What Do We Actually Have Today? - Artem Sokhin

As more companies try to build trustworthy AI, zero trust is becoming a data problem, not just an IT or access management one. It sounds reasonable to apply zero trust ideas to data pipelines, lakes and warehouses, but once you get into practice, the picture gets messy fast. What controls do we actually have, and what do they really protect?

In this talk, I want to look at what data-centric zero trust means in real systems and compare the main approaches teams can use today. The point is to give a practical view of what these tools are good at, where they overlap and how to think about them in the context of your own data stack

Alert Fatigue - Michal Bojko

Failure fatigue (also called alert fatigue) occurs when engineers are exposed to so many incident notifications — many of them false positives or low-severity noise — that they become desensitized. The result: real incidents are delayed or ignored, response quality drops, and burnout accelerates. The session is a short introduction to mitigation techniques like Runbook as a code.
