Services

Media Services introduces new security features available in the 2020-05-01 version of the Azure Media Services API allowing you to now bring their own encryption keys and use managed identities. The latest features include: * **Customer Managed Keys**: Content Keys and other data stored in accounts created with the "2020-05-01" version API are encrypted with an account key. You can now manage your own keys to adhere to industry compliance regulations and improves tenant isolation of a service. Giving you better control of encryption keys is a way to minimize unnecessary access and build confidence in Microsoft services.

When storage accounts are accessed using a Managed Identity, you can configure more restrictive network ACLs on the storage account without blocking Media Services use case scenarios like streaming or encoding.
