Key Rotation Policies
Key rotation involves replacing old keys with new ones at regular intervals or when a key compromise is suspected. Key rotation policies are essential to maintaining security and minimizing the potential impact of a breach.
Key rotation strategies include:
- Periodic Rotation: Keys are rotated after a fixed duration (e.g., every 90 days).
- Event-Driven Rotation: Keys are rotated in response to specific events, such as a suspected compromise or employee departure.
