Ensure API keys are rotated every 90 days
Description
Replace production API keys with new API keys regularly, every 90 days for example, as a best practice to secure your account. API key rotation can help reduce the impact to your organization if an API key becomes exposed or compromised. If you suspect that a key might have been leaked or compromised, the key must be rotated out of production and deleted.
