General security recommendations
The following topics provide an overview of additional security-related information and recommendations.
As users upload Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint files from Analysis into the business intelligence platform document repository, we recommend the use of a virus scanning application to protect your business intelligence platform server. You should only allow your users to store the files in a specific folder in the business intelligence platform. Configure a virus scan for this folder, by using a virus scanning application installed on the same server as the business intelligence platform. Whenever a file is added or modified in this folder, the virus scanner automatically scans the file.
