Detection: Key Vault Deleted

Overview

Detect when an Azure Key Vault instance was deleted. Key Vaults are critical for securely storing secrets, certificates, and encryption keys, and their deletion can result in data loss and disrupt applications relying on those secrets. Monitoring these events ensures the availability and security of sensitive resources.
