Azure Key Vault vs Identity Protection Suite

Identity Protection Suite vs Azure Key Vault: What are the differences?

What is Identity Protection Suite? Anonymize faces & license plates on images & videos automatically. It offers various solutions to automatically redact faces and license plates on images and videos with highest quality.

What is Azure Key Vault? Safeguard cryptographic keys and other secrets used by cloud apps and services. Secure key management is essential to protect data in the cloud. Use Azure Key Vault to encrypt keys and small secrets like passwords that use keys stored in hardware security modules (HSMs). For more assurance, import or generate keys in HSMs, and Microsoft processes your keys in FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated HSMs (hardware and firmware). With Key Vault, Microsoft doesn’t see or extract your keys. Monitor and audit your key use with Azure logging—pipe logs into Azure HDInsight or your security information and event management (SIEM) solution for more analysis and threat detection.

Identity Protection Suite can be classified as a tool in the "Image Processing and Management" category, while Azure Key Vault is grouped under "Data Security Services".

Some of the features offered by Identity Protection Suite are:

• Fully automatic, AI-powered anonymization software
• High precision blurring of faces, full bodies and license plates in images and videos
• Deep Natural Anonymization of faces and license plates for privacy compliant image and video analytics and machine learning

On the other hand, Azure Key Vault provides the following key features:

• Increase security and control over keys and passwords
• Create and import encryption keys in minutes
• Applications have no direct access to keys
