Hsm — Microsoft Azure Security Engineer (AZ-500) Practice Questions
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a dedicated physical device that generates and protects cryptographic keys inside tamper-resistant hardware, providing the highest level of key security. In Azure, HSM-backed protection is available through Azure Key Vault Premium and Azure Dedicated HSM, and the AZ-500 exam tests when each tier is appropriate. Candidates must understand FIPS 140-2 Level 2 versus Level 3 compliance requirements, key import procedures using Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), and scenarios where regulatory mandates require HSM-level isolation.
