Azure Storage accounts leverage Shared Key Authorization, a convenient access method secured by access keys. However, a compromised key exposes your storage to unauthorized access. 

Frequent access key rotation improves your security posture by significantly reducing the potential damage from a compromised key. Azure Key Vault streamlines this process by offering automated rotation policies, ensuring effortless key management.

Here's an example:

Prompt: "When referencing an Azure key, check if its rotation occurred within the last 90 days. If not, generate a ServiceNow ticket with key details and notify the security team via Slack."

This workflow automates the following actions:

  1. Key Age Verification: Upon referencing an Azure key, the workflow verifies if it has been rotated within the past 90 days.
  2. ServiceNow Ticket Generation: If the key hasn't been rotated recently, a new ServiceNow ticket containing key details is automatically created.
  3. Slack Notification: The ServiceNow ticket details are then relayed to the security team via a Slack message.
