# Security Considerations on the FICO Analytic Cloud

The following information describes the security implications when using Xpress Insight and Decision Optimizer on the FICO Analytic Cloud.

Xpress Insight and Decision Optimizer operate in a secure configuration when deployed on the FICO Analytic Cloud. This secure configuration enforces a number of restrictions:

- Solver algorithms are limited to 4 threads.
- Module parameters can only be set in the model itself.
- The python3 Mosel module ("python3.dso") is not available on the FICO Analytic Cloud.
- mmjobs: routines `connect` and `detach` are disabled.
- mmhttp: routines `httpget`, `put`, `post`, `get` and `startsrv` are disabled.
- mmodbc: connection strings must be of the form `DSN=<dsn>` or use the integrated `sqlite` driver.

Note: These restrictions are in addition to the default rules:

- `NoExec` (no system calls or interaction with external native code)
- `NoReadNoWriteWDOnly` (file system access restricted to the current working directory only)
