Key Management — The lifecycle controls used to generate, store, distribute, rotate, revoke and destroy cryptographic keys.
Why Key Management matters in finance
Security depends not only on algorithms but on protecting keys throughout their lifetime.
Security is also a market-infrastructure question
In financial services, key management should be understood in relation to operational continuity, data integrity, payments, market infrastructure and interconnected dependencies. A control can be technically effective while still leaving material resilience risk if critical services cannot continue or recover during disruption.
