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

In the ICS Web UI, navigate to System >> Status >> Dashboard. 1. Click the "Overview" tab. 2. Under "Appliance Details" and "System Date and Time", select "Edit". 3. Verify the "Time Zone" is set to "(GMT) Coordinated Universal Time".

If the ICS must be configured to record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to GMT, this is a finding.
