Static Logs in a Dynamic Environment Leave US Agencies Vulnerable

BSA urges the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to update Memorandum 21-31 by replacing static logging practices with continuous, standardized, backed-up, and integrated logging systems. BSA recommends that modern logging enable real-time threat detection, automated compliance, interoperability across systems, resilient data recovery, and stronger zero-trust execution. These improvements would transform logging from a passive compliance task into a strategic cybersecurity advantage for US agencies.
