    Hi @Samy Abdul ,

    Thanks for the question and using MS Q&A platform.

    Data at Rest: Azure provides encryption for data at rest by default. For highly sensitive data, you have options to implement additional encryption at rest on all Azure resources where available. Azure manages your encryption keys by default, but Azure also provides options to manage your own keys (customer-managed keys) for certain Azure services to meet regulatory requirements.

    Data at transit: By default, Azure provides encryption for data in transit between Azure data centers.

    For more details, refer to Azure security baseline for Azure Data Factory.

    This article provides an overview of how encryption is used in Microsoft Azure. It covers the major areas of encryption, including encryption at rest, encryption in flight, and key management with Azure Key Vault. Each section includes links to more detailed information.

    This article describes best practices for data security and encryption.

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
