Currently we are usen FME Desktop 2020.1. In the webconnection we have made connections to our ESRI platform (Arcgis Enterprise). SO when using a workbench data can be extracted from our arcgis enterprise portal. Is it possible to secure the data stored in a web connection in FME Desktop. We would like to prevent anyone who has gained acces to one of our account to also use the web connections to reach the account data stored in the web connection.

I don't think that's possible. When somebody gains access to the machine with FME they can use the web connections, only from within FME though, they can't see the passwords (unless they find the file where the connections are stored and brute-force decode it)
