How does Vault enhance security in the event of an intrusion?

Vault enhances security in the event of an intrusion primarily through key rolling and system lockdown. Key rolling helps to minimize the risk associated with key compromise by regularly updating cryptographic keys. This ensures that even if a key is compromised, the window of exposure is minimized because the compromised key will soon be outdated and rendered ineffective.

System lockdown is another critical security feature that comes into play during an incident. It can restrict access to sensitive operations or endpoints when a threat is detected, effectively preventing further exploitation and securing the existing data and secrets. This proactive approach to security helps maintain the integrity of sensitive data and reduces the potential damage from unauthorized access.

While user education, interface design, and audits are important aspects of an overall security strategy, they do not directly enhance security in the event of a live intrusion as key rolling and system lockdown do. These methods are more immediate and technical responses to mitigate risks effectively when a security incident occurs.
