TMA-IBMCLOUD-1.2
Ensure API keys unused for 180 days are detected and optionally disabled
Description
Monitor API key usage in your account and search for API keys that are unused or used infrequently. If an API key is unused for long period in your account, it must be suspended or disabled as a security best practice. All API keys, even those that are used infrequently, must be rotated periodically. To reduce the likelihood of accidental exposure or leaking, monitoring for infrequently used API keys can indicate that an API key can be suspended and even deleted, if there is no anticipated future usage.
