Configuring and Securing Azure Key Vault for the Enterprise
We can use Azure Key Vault to securely store and control access to sensitive information. We can use it to handle secrets (things like database connection string, passwords, API tokens etc.), cryptographic keys (used for encrypting and decrypting data), and certificates (SSL/TLS certificates used to secure communications). However, just having a Key Vault by itself doesn’t automatically make your application secure. We can deploy Azure Key Vaults with soft delete and purge protections to protect our vaults from accidental deletions, we can configure RBAC-based access controls, just-in-time activations using PIM, and we can lock down our Key Vaults using firewall rules, virtual networks, and private endpoints. ...
