Explanation
Key management involves the creation, distribution, rotation, and revocation of credentials such as passwords, encryption keys, and certificates. A solution that rotates passwords for critical systems is performing a key management function. Network access control (NAC) controls device access to a network, not password rotation. TACACS+ is an authentication protocol used to validate users, not manage or rotate passwords. Multifactor authentication (MFA) adds additional identity verification factors but does not rotate Rotating credentials securely is a function of key management.
