We are planning to use Shield for security and multi-tenancy in Kibana. Is there any way to protect the saved reports from one tenant and hide them from the other tenants?

What do you mean by a "saved report"? If it is a document you create, you can tag the document with a field to identify the tenant and then use document level security to restrict access to documents.
