[CDP-development] Collaboration with Microsoft Expands Access to Logging Capabilities

[Masse, Theresa]

FYSA



Based on a collaborative partnership between the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and Microsoft, many Microsoft customers will now have access to expanded cloud logging capabilities at no additional charge, which will enhance cyber defense and incident response. Microsoft's decision is a significant step toward advancing security by design principles and a strong example of effective partnership resulting in better cybersecurity at a national scale.

The move toward a secure by design<https://www.cisa.gov/securebydesign> cyber ecosystem took a step forward with the announcement<https://aka.ms/AuditLoggingUpdate> that Microsoft would be making logging more accessible to all organizations. Working together, CISA helped Microsoft identify the logs that had been most helpful in identifying malicious cyber activity and Microsoft responded by including those logs as standard for their basic enterprise customers. This business decision focused on security by design is also an excellent example of corporate cyber responsibility and CISA applauds this decision. This effort was possible through the close collaboration between CISA and Microsoft, a founding partner in the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC).



While it will take some time for Microsoft to roll out this change to all of their customers, this collaboration is an example of working together to improve cybersecurity on a national scale.
