This is a common countermeasure. You need to be aware that you maybe just be moving the problem. In settings in which key agreement techniques aren't used you'll be deriving new symmetric keys from an initial secret using a KDF. You now need to make sure that the KDF is DPA-resistant.

Forward secrecy is defined with respect to key agreement schemes and not symmetric crypto per se.
