Azure Key Vault

Azure Key Vault is a tool for storing and retrieving secrets in a secure way in cloud. Example of secrets: API keys, Passwords,
or Certificates.

Access Management

This service allows you to manage not only your keys but also those who have access to them. You can grant granular
permissions to each key to only the users and applications who need access.

Monitoring for compliance and audit is another crucial component to key management. Azure Key Vault also provides
