From volume to visibility: how intelligent workflows make M-26-14 achievable
Blog post from Tines
On May 22, 2026, the Office of Management and Budget introduced a new risk-based, outcome-driven logging framework, M-26-14, replacing the previous M-21-31, to improve federal cybersecurity by focusing on actionable intelligence rather than exhaustive data collection. This framework prioritizes Continuous Event Monitoring (CEM) and Threat Hunting, Investigation, Response, and Forensics (THIRF), requiring logs to be searchable for six months and retrievable for 12 months while addressing issues like storage costs and alert fatigue. To aid in compliance with M-26-14, the Tines platform offers intelligent workflows that integrate AI and automation, allowing federal agencies to orchestrate existing tools without the need for specialized developers. The platform enables streamlined compliance with features like cURL to Tines, automated triage, parallel API calls for log enrichment, and audit-ready documentation, ensuring agencies can meet CISA's upcoming Logging Reference Architecture requirements efficiently.
