Overview of Azure-BYOK
Azure Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) is a capability of Azure Key Vault that allows customers to use encryption keys generated and managed outside Microsoft Azure. Using BYOK, customers can import externally created keys into Azure Key Vault and use them for encrypting Azure resources while retaining ownership and control of the key material.
Overview of Utimaco ESKM
Utimaco Enterprise Secure Key Manager (ESKM) is a centralized key management solution used to generate, store, and manage encryption keys in the customer environment. It provides secure control over key lifecycle operations such as key creation, usage, rotation, and deletion, helping organizations maintain strong security governance and compliance.
Joint Value Proposition
The Azure BYOK and Utimaco ESKM integration enables organizations to keep full ownership and control of encryption keys while protecting data in Azure. By managing keys in ESKM outside Azure, customers strengthen security governance and meet compliance requirements, while still using Azure Key Vault for cloud encryption operations.
