Understanding SSH Key Rotation

SSH key rotation is the process of regularly updating and replacing Secure Shell (SSH) keys used for authentication in order to enhance security by minimizing the risk posed by compromised or outdated keys. This practice involves generating new SSH key pairs, distributing the new public keys, updating access controls, and removing or revoking old keys to prevent unauthorized access to systems and data. SSH key rotation is a vital security measure to safeguard against potential threats and ensure secure access to sensitive resources.
