-In Azure, all communications and data in transit is securely transferred with *HTTPS* and *TLS 1.2+* protocols. This data remains on the Azure backbone network ensuring reliable and efficient data transmission. The backup data at rest is encrypted by default using *Microsoft-managed keys*. You can also bring your own keys for encryption if you require greater control over the data. To enhance protection, you can use [immutability](security-overview.md#immutable-vaults), which prevents data from being altered or deleted before its retention period. Azure Backup gives you diverse options such as [soft delete](security-overview.md#soft-delete), stop backup and delete data or retain data if you need to stop backups at any time. To protect critical operations, you can add [Multi-User Authorization (MUA)](security-overview.md#multi-user-authorization) that adds additional layer of protection by using an Azure resource called Azure Resource Guard (ARG).
