The Key to Disaster Recovery: Resilient Secrets

I have a secret to tell. A Resilient Secret. And it may just help save you in a business continuity or disaster recovery situation. Hello, I'm Jeff Carpenter with Delinea, and we're talking about something called Resilient Secrets. Now, your organization may look a lot like this. You have your cloud or your multi-cloud environment here.

So this is your GCP, your Google Cloud Instance. You may have AWS, you might have Azure. And then, many of us, we still have, of course, brick and mortar, so you'll have your data center here, on-prem, you'll have your database, servers, etc. Various servers and applications spread throughout the organization for users to access.

Thanks. Now, best practices dictate that if you have an administrator, so a database administrator, firewall administrator, proxy administrator, somebody who has elevated or escalated privileges, that it's very important, in fact it's critical, to vault those credentials. And preferably, you know, vault them in a best of class solution.

Like the Delinea secret server. Now, when we say vault those credentials, that's what we mean when we say the term secrets. Secrets can be, uh, credentials, passwords, multi factor authentication credentials, it can be keys, you know, like SSH keys. Things that users, human and non-human identities that have escalated privileges, the ability to read write data, access read write data, Or to create new accounts or escalate the privileges of other users.

That those users be vaulted here in a secure vault. And that when those users, so for example, a user here who is a database administrator. A user here who is an application administrator. Somebody who is doing the cloud development work in your cloud. When they need to access a key target application.

That they check out their credential from the vault. Those are best practices, and that's what we mean by secrets. But now, what happens when there is a disaster recovery situation? In other words, you lose connectivity to your cloud, right? Through a network incident. You lose connectivity to a server. You know, server goes down.

Um, or you lose, uh, you know, heaven forbid one of your cloud services goes down for a period of time. Well, Delinea has this solution that we call resilient secrets. And what it means is that instead of a centralized. Single vault solution. We can actually replicate that out to another location of your choice so it can be in one of your clouds.

It could be one of your on-prem locations so we can do a Delinea replica here. We could do it here. We could do it in one of your clouds like I was saying, and this means that every 15 minutes, any changes that are made to your Delinea Secret Server get replicated out to the replica and the Delinea Secret Server is located.

It could be on-prem or it can be located on the Delinea platform and it will provide your organization with that resiliency. It needs so that you don't have to have your administrators. Roll back to simple passwords in the event of a disaster recovery situation. They will have full access to all of their secrets, all of your security policies will be maintained, and you'll be able to get through that security incident.
