The DataPower Gateway must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

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.

In the web interface, go to Status >> View Logs >> Audit Log to display current time stamped log entries.

If the UTC format is not used, this is a finding.

By default, the DataPower Gateway records time stamps for audit records in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The following is an example: March 30, 2015 followed by the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970.
