Vulnerability discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis.Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC.

Check content

Determine if the network device records time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration review. If the network device does not record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), this is a finding. This can be configured with the following command: clock timezone GMT and verified by show run section clock Log records can be validated with: show logging

Fix text

Configure the network device to record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This can be configured with the following command: clock timezone GMT

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
