In general this is good news as it will allow Python to be used directly within in Excel worksheets. Microsoft is assuring users that data will remain secure in the cloud, but the risk should be viewed in the same lens as other new and emerging software changes.

This is good news. I am sure Microsoft will be taking security seriously but as end user we should make sure that all the traffic i.e inbound and outboud is monitored.Director of Customer Engineering - APAC in Software, 201 - 500 employees
None, it is safer than VBASr. Director of Engineering in Software, 51 - 200 employees
Getting a most commonly used and easly to learn language like python support into most widely used tool MS Excel is a welcome step as I see it. It will be a union of two most adopted technologies and should provide new integrations not seen before. As far as security is concerned, its the same as using any other Low-Code and No-Code platforms and should be ensured by terms and conditions by Microsoft. Content you might like

Follow up to my previous travel question… What is your favorite place to travel to for work and why?

By far the best place for me to travel was Shanghai. Loved the city and the vibe. Singapore is also an amazing place to have to be stationed for work.
