Executive Overview: Azure Key Vault Managed Hardware Security Module (HSM) provides strong sovereignty over your encryption keys. Keys are generated and stored in a single-tenant, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 HSM that only you control: Microsoft has no access to your key material, and you govern who can use each key.
Microsoft Azure continues to expand its enterprise cloud capabilities, providing scalable infrastructure, high-availability datacenters, and advanced AI model hosting through Microsoft Foundry and Azure OpenAI Services.
