We have implemnted Power BI service in our company via clound service and on-premise data gateway and it's really enjoyable to use it . but we have two elements which are on-premise (data gateway server & database server (Oracle database)) .
Our on-premise data gateway upload (aggregated data without senstive ) on daily basis to the Power BI service .
so our security departments have many concenrs about how secure the data gateway ? because I have to enter the local db credentails For the Power BI service .
I have security concenrs in three scenarios :-
1. what if (theoretically) somene steal my credentials manged to access my Power BI account ...
2. Can the hacker reach our on-premise local database throught the Power BI service and then use the data gateway to access our local database and reach other related systesm ?
3. can I make the gateway server have only outbound network data connection ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @osacapcom ,
1. what if (theoretically) somene steal my credentials manged to access my Power BI account ...
NO
Yes ,if you have the right acess.
Yes
No
Please protect your administrator account. Data source credentials are required to access the data source. Otherwise he can see only the parts you imported to Power BI.
2. Can the hacker reach our on-premise local database throught the Power BI service and then use the data gateway to access our local database and reach other related systesm ?
No
3. can I make the gateway server have only outbound network data connection ?
The gateway communicates on the following outbound ports: TCP 443, 5671, 5672, and from 9350 through 9354. The gateway doesn't require inbound ports.
