The frequency of updating encryption keys can depend on several factors:
1. Sensitivity of Data: Highly sensitive data, such as patient medical records and genomic data, may require more frequent key updates. 2. Regulatory Requirements: Different regulations may stipulate specific intervals for key updates. 3. Organizational Policies: Internal policies and the level of threat exposure may also dictate the frequency of updates. Generally, a periodic review (e.g., every six months) is recommended.
