Security policy against hackers attacks

Good morning.

We have a query, since we carry out Business Intelligence developments with Power BI desktop, and we would like to know certain things about how the Power BI service addresses the issue of data security once published in the service. The thing is with all the literature in official pages on the subject, we have not found an answer that satisfies us.

 

That is why we ask through this medium, to see if you can answer us directly or refer our question to the right team.

 

Specifically, we would like to know:

 

- What policy does Microsoft Power BI follow against hacker attacks?
- What security policy or contingency elements do Microsoft PBI faces against these potential attacks?
- To what extent do Microsoft PBI keep a copy or backup of the user data shared in the service?
- If the servers where the information or data set is hosted are dropped, does access to my data in any way?

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

In order to answer this, I would suggest looking at how Microsoft prevents attacks on Azure.

This is because all of Power BI is run within Azure. This means that all your questions above will be covered by how Microsoft looks after all the data in Azure.

Here are some links to look into: https://www.microsoft.com/security/blog/2019/08/20/one-simple-action-you-can-take-to-prevent-99-9-pe...
