Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., who has sharply criticized the company\u2019s security failures even as it is an increasingly important provider of computing services to the U.S. government, said the pricing shift was insufficient to address a string of breaches. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, as Microsoft\u2019s $15 billion-plus cybersecurity business grows, Microsoft\u2019s incentives are not to deliver secure operating systems and cloud software to its customers, but to deliver insecure products and then upsell them on cybersecurity add-ons,\u201d Wyden said in a statement provided to CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t have taken multiple disastrous hacks of federal systems for Microsoft to make essential security features standard for government customers, but better late than never,\u201d Wyden said. \u201cGoing forward, federal agencies should insist that software contracts include security logs and other cybersecurity features, so our national security is no longer compromised by a shoddy procurement process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trey Herr, the director of the Atlantic Council\u2019s Cyber Statecraft Initiative, told CyberScoop called the policy update \u201ca good step but not a great one.\u201d <\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cMonetizing visibility into systems your&nbsp;customers are supposed to help defend undermines the so-called \u2018shared responsibility\u2019 model of cloud computing,\u201d Herr said in an email. \u201cMore importantly, this commitment does nothing to address the process that led to another exploitable flaw in Microsoft\u2019s crucial cloud identity service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Top CISA and Microsoft officials framed the company\u2019s policy decision as the result of a months-long collaboration and conversation about the appropriate level of logging that should be available to customers. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday\u2019s news comes as a result of our close partnership with CISA, which has called for the industry to take action in order to better protect itself from potential cyberattacks,\u201d the company said in its blog post. \u201cIt also reflects our commitment to engaging with customers, partners, and regulators to address the evolving security needs of the modern world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Goldstein, CISA\u2019s executive assistant director for cybersecurity, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/news-events\/news\/when-tech-vendors-make-key-logging-info-available-free-everyone-wins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said in a statement<\/a> that his agency applauds Microsoft\u2019s decision. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we understand it will take time to roll out such a major step, this effort will enhance cyber defense and incident response for every Microsoft customer,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cAs a founding partner in the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), Microsoft\u2019s decision is also a significant step toward creating a world where technology is safe and secure by design.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span>
