White House charts new course for federal agencies and cybersecurity logging
The White House has revised federal logging rules with a risk-based approach that aims to improve threat detection, investigations, and recovery while reducing unnecessary data collection. The update replaces the 2021 guidance and directs CISA to publish a logging reference architecture within 90 days, though some experts worry the transition could create a temporary gap in agency prioritization. #WhiteHouse #CISA #M-21-31 #M-26-14
