Introduction to Key Access Justifications

Key Access Justifications provides a justification for every request to access keys stored in an external key manager. It lets you approve or deny the access request based on the provided justification. Using Key Access Justifications with Cloud External Key Manager provides visibility into requests for encryption keys that allows data to change state from at-rest to in-use.
