Microsoft Azure Key Vaults/Key Vault Managed HSM - An Overview

Azure Key Vaults and Azure Key Vault Managed HSM (Hardware Security Module) are two essential services provided by Microsoft Azure for managing secrets, keys, and certificates. The Azure Key Vaults service is used for securely storing and managing sensitive information such as API keys, passwords, certificates, and cryptographic keys. Azure Key Vault Managed HSM provides a highly secure environment for storing and managing cryptographic keys using hardware security modules (HSMs). 

With the right Azure Key Vaults monitoring tool / Azure Key Vault Managed HSM monitoring tool, users can effectively monitor the performance, availability, and security of their service and gain actionable insights to optimize its usage, detect anomalies, and respond to security incidents promptly. Read on to learn how to do so with Applications Manager.
