  "bluf": "MITRE ATT&CK T1562.008 (Disable or Modify Cloud Logs) is an Enterprise Defense Evasion sub-technique of T1562 (Impair Defenses). An adversary may disable or modify cloud logging capabilities and integrations to limit what data is collected on their activities and avoid detection. Cloud environments allow for collection and analysis of audit and application logs that provide insight into what activities a user does within the environment. If an adversary has sufficient permissions, they can disable or modify logging to avoid detection of their activities. Affected platforms: IaaS, SaaS, Office Suite, Identity Provider. MITRE-documented mitigations include M1018 User Account Management. The Center for Threat-Informed Defense maps this technique to NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls AC-02, AC-03, AC-05, AC-06, CA-07, CM-02, CM-03, CM-05.",
