Azure Key Vault is used to protect encryption keys and secrets. These keys and secrets can be used to access encrypted data and protected services. Individual Key Vaults can be used to preserve security information for isolating keys and secrets. The keys stored can be either hardware or software protected. Access to the keys and secrets is controlled using Azure Active Directory, RBAC and access policies.
