What is TLS in learning?

The Learn SaaS offering secures all communication over the Internet with Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology. TLS ensures that a communication is not read or changed by another entity. Blackboard Learn uses TLS to secure communications between the Web server and the client machine; e.g., a browser.

Is SaaS a security program?

The SaaS application code has been built with security in mind. The Security Team has been involved in the full SDLC to ensure we build security in from the very beginning, following our Security Assurance Program. We have adopted new technologies and taken advantage of their built-in security features and best practices.

Can you access SSH keys?

A limited set of staff would have command-line and back-end access through the use of SSH keys. Access is only possible via SSH keys, a more secure method of access versus username/passwords. Keys are managed by a small group and can be revoked at any time.
