Can we protect our PC from malicious R code in pbix file ?

Can we protect our PC from malicious R code in pbix file ?

We want to enable R, But We need to protect our PC from malicious R code.

 

Power BI Desktop can enable R for R data source and R visuals.

and R can write the files on PC, and can access the SQL Server database.

 

We think that the pbix files with malicious R code can infect the PC which open it.

Excel can protect malicious VBA by allow only trusted excel file, with signed VBA.

 

I want to use R on Power BI Desktop / Power BI Service / Power BI mobile for rich dashboards.
