It is important to configure Key Management Service (KMS) encryption keys with a rotation_period of 90 days or less to limit the blast radius if a key is ever compromised. Failure to set a short rotation period, or omitting the rotation_period attribute entirely, increases risk by allowing the same encryption key to remain in use for extended periods, making it a more valuable and longer-lived target if leaked or compromised. Properly securing this setting in Terraform involves specifying the rotation_period attribute within the google_kms_crypto_key resource, for example:
