Azure Key Vault vs IBM QRadar

Azure Key Vault vs IBM QRadar: What are the differences?

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.

What is IBM QRadar? Enterprise security information and event management (SIEM) product. It is an enterprise security information and event management (SIEM) product. It includes out-of-the-box analytics, correlation rules and dashboards to help customers address their most pressing security use cases — without requiring significant customization effort.

Azure Key Vault and IBM QRadar can be primarily classified as "Data Security Services" tools.

Some of the features offered by Azure Key Vault are:

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

On the other hand, IBM QRadar provides the following key features:

• Gain comprehensive visibility into enterprise data across on-premises and cloud-based environments from behind a single pane of glass
• Detect known and unknown threats, go beyond individual alerts to identify and prioritize potential incidents, and apply AI to accelerate investigation processes by 50 percent
• Gain closed-loop feedback to continuously improve detection, and use the time savings from automated security intelligence to proactively hunt threats and automate containment processes
