description: Azure automation protects secure assets using multiple levels of encryption. By default, the encryption is done using Microsoft-managed keys. Customers can configure their automation accounts to use customer managed keys for encryption. This article describes the details of both modes of encryption and how you can switch between the two.

## Customer-managed Keys with Key Vault (preview)

You can manage encryption of secure assets in Azure Automation at the level of an Automation account with your own keys. When you specify a customer-managed key at the level of the Automation account, that key is used to protect and control access to the account encryption key for the Automation account. This in turn is used to encrypt and decrypt all the secure assets. Customer-managed keys offer greater flexibility to create, rotate, disable, and revoke access controls. You can also audit the encryption keys used to protect your secure assets.
