Cryptographic Keys Should Be Rotated
More Info:
Rotate cryptographic keys on a regular schedule. Thus, key rotation should be enabled on all cryptographic keys. Google will handle the rotation of the encryption key itself, so previous data does not need to be re-encrypted before the rotation occurs.Risk Level

Using Console
Using Console
Sure, here are the step-by-step instructions to remediate the cryptographic keys rotation misconfiguration in GCP using the GCP console:
- Open the GCP console and go to the Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) page.
- Select the key ring that contains the cryptographic key that needs to be rotated.
- Click on the name of the key that needs to be rotated.
- Click on the “Edit” button at the top of the page.
- Scroll down to the “Rotation period” section and select the rotation period that you want to set for the key.
- Click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.
Using CLI
Using CLI
To remediate the cryptographic keys rotation misconfiguration in GCP using GCP CLI, you can follow the below steps:Step 1: Open the Cloud Shell in GCP Console.Step 2: Run the following command to list all the cryptographic keys in the project:Replace [LOCATION] with the location of the keyring and [KEYRING_NAME] with the name of the keyring.Step 3: Identify the cryptographic keys that have not been rotated for a long time.Step 4: Run the following command to rotate the cryptographic key:Replace [KEY_NAME] with the name of the cryptographic key, [LOCATION] with the location of the keyring and [KEYRING_NAME] with the name of the keyring.Step 5: Verify that the cryptographic key has been rotated using the following command:Replace [KEY_NAME] with the name of the cryptographic key, [LOCATION] with the location of the keyring and [KEYRING_NAME] with the name of the keyring.Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all the cryptographic keys that have not been rotated for a long time.By following these steps, you can remediate the cryptographic keys rotation misconfiguration in GCP using GCP CLI.

To remediate the cryptographic keys rotation misconfiguration in GCP using Python, follow these steps:Make sure you replace the
- First, you need to identify which cryptographic keys need to be rotated. You can use the GCP Cloud KMS API to list all the keys and their creation date.
- Once you have identified the keys that need to be rotated, you can use the Cloud KMS API to create a new key version and set it as the primary version.
- Finally, you should delete the old key versions to ensure that they are no longer used.
[PROJECT_ID] and [LOCATION] placeholders with your actual project ID and location. Also, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform these actions.
