Rotate VCenter Credentials\n\nImmediately rotate VCenter credentials to revoke access for any users who may have already accessed the exposed credentials.\n\n3. Audit VCenter Users and Roles\n\nConduct a security audit of VCenter accounts and roles to detect any unauthorized access or configuration changes.\n\nIf any suspicious activity is found, revoke access by rotating credentials again (step 2) and taking necessary remediation actions."
