Rotating API Keys for Security
As you build applications leveraging ElevateAI's Speech-to-Text and CX AI APIs, we wanted to share an important security best practice - regularly rotating your API keys.
We recently published a detailed blog post on this topic.
The rationale is that over time, as more developers and systems gain access to an API key, the potential for accidental exposure or misuse increases. Some specific risks include:
  • Developers leaving projects or companies without deactivating old keys
  • Integration errors exposing keys publicly on frontends
  • Compromised keys being exploited before vendors can patch vulnerabilities
By regularly rotating API credentials, you minimize these risks by limiting the lifespan of each key. Industry best practices recommend rotating keys at least every 6 months, and whenever you have personnel/system changes or potential security incidents.
Let us know if we can help!
