Resiliency
Delinea services at the University of Nebraska are secure and resilient by design. The Delinea Platform and Secret Server are hosted in Microsoft Azure’s High Availability environment with three geo-redundant copies within the continental United States. University data is 100% isolated and encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 and PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 encryption.
The University’s environment meets compliance and security standards for NIST, GDPR, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and FedRAMP. This means credentials for Low, Medium, High, and Regulated IT Risk Classifications can be stored and managed with assurance.
