Azure Key Vault

Azure Key Vault is a security management software that can safeguard cryptographic keys, passwords and other secrets. The software offers enhanced data protection and compliance technology that can generate and import encrypted keys within minutes. The software is scalable in nature, so users no longer need to deploy dedicated HSMs. They can achieve global redundancy with the software and maintain a copy of their own HSMs for enhanced durability. Developers can further manage keys used for testing or development. They can maintain complete control of their keys and allow access permission to partners or applications whenever needed. Applications never possess direct access on keys. Moreover, the platform automates and simplifies various tasks related to TLS/SSL certificates. Users are also enabled to enroll and renew their certificates automatically from various supported public certificate authorities. Organizations can boost performance and reduce their cloud applications’ latency by storing their cryptographic keys in the cloud, instead of on-premises.
