Description

Azure KeyVault is a secret and key management service that allows you to store and manage sensitive information such as passwords, keys, and certificates. Azure KeyVault helps you control your applications' secrets by keeping them in a single, central location and by providing secure access, permissions control, and access logging capabilities.

Organizations can use purging and deleting keys and secrets in everyday life to ensure that sensitive information is not exposed to unauthorized users.
