AZ-104: Microsoft Azure Administrator Full Course - Storage Security Encryption

The video tutorial explains Azure's storage service encryption (SSE), which automatically encrypts data at rest using 256-bit AES encryption. SSE is enabled by default for all storage accounts, ensuring data security and compliance without requiring code changes. Users can opt for customer managed keys via the Azure portal, allowing them to use their own keys for encryption. The process of encryption, decryption, and key management is transparent to users.
