- moving user authentication keys to protected locations, to prevent insider attacks;
- removing keys that are no longer needed, to effect proper termination of access;
- changing all keys so that copied keys cease to work, to eliminate existing backdoors;
- continuous monitoring and enforcement of proper approvals.
Additionally, setting up new SSH keys or other trust relationships is typically automated to save costs and improve security.
