The Juniper SRX Services Gateway must record time stamps for log records using Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

Rule version JUSX-DM-000065 · STIG v3 · 2024-12-20

Discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis. UTC is normally used in DoD; however, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) may be used if needed for mission requirements.

Check

Verify the time zone is set to UTC.

[edit] show system time-zone

If the time zone is not set to UTC, this is a finding.

Fix

The following command sets the time zone to UTC.

[edit] set system time-zone UTC
