In today's software development landscape, securely handling confidential data is not just a priority but an indispensable quality requirement. In my presentation, I will demonstrate how developer teams can protect sensitive information within the Azure cloud environment. From utilizing Azure Key Vault to leveraging Managed Identity and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) - discover how these techniques not only bolster security but also enhance flexibility in the development process. Join me on this exploration and gain practical, proven strategies.
