Hello,
I'm trying to gather some information to be able to report accurately to leadership.
The goal:
We want to create and publish PowerBI reports for certain employees to be able to view. Because of the cost of licensing PowerBI Premium site-wide (or SQL Server with Software Assurance), the intent is to use PowerBI Pro (viewer) and Premium Per User (creator) licenses, which I understand to be only usable with the cloud service.
The question:
If we use the cloud service, we need a data gateway running on-prem in order to feed local SQL server data to the service so the reports can access. The documentation seems to show that this traffic uses HTTPS to transmit the data between the gateway and the cloud service. How secure is this transit? Is the on-prem data safe if someone breaches the cloud tenant, or captures traffic in flight?
