7. Security best practices

• Store keys in a managed secrets store with strict access controls and audit logs.
• Rotate keys regularly (every 90 days or per policy).
• Use least privilege — if the service supports scoped keys/token types, prefer limited-scope tokens.
• Monitor usage patterns for anomalies; alert on unexpected spikes.
• Never commit keys to source control; scan commits with secret-detection tooling.

• API Connectivity Test: After updating the API key, a simple test was performed to ensure connectivity and functionality of the VirusTotal API.
• Response Verification: Responses from the API were verified to ensure the new key is working correctly.
