+### General Availability of customer-managed keys for Azure Automation
+
+**Type:** New feature
+
+Customers can manage and secure encryption of Azure Automation assets using their own managed keys. With the introduction of customer-managed keys you can supplement default encryption with an additional encryption layer using keys that you create and manage in Azure Key Vault. This additional encryption should help you meet your organization’s regulatory or compliance needs.
