When hackers working on behalf of the Chinese government stole a Microsoft signing key and used it to breach the email accounts of senior U.S. government officials last year, that operation was only discovered due to an expensive logging option in use at the U.S. State Department.
This month, expanded logging will be made available to all federal agencies, the statement added. Along with making more detailed logs available, Microsoft is also increasing the default period for which logs are retained from 90 to 180 days.
CISA's executive assistant director for cybersecurity, Eric Goldstein, said in a statement that he was pleased to have 'made real progress' toward making 'the necessary logging available to federal agencies and the broader cybersecurity community.'
