Ensuring time stamps are mapped to coordinated universal time
Rule Title: RiOS must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
STIG ID: RICX-DM-000059
Rule ID: SV-77411r1_rule Severity: CAT II
Vuln ID: V-62921 Class: Unclass
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.
Verifying the system is configured for UTC
Verify that RiOS is configured for UTC.
1. Connect to the Management Console.
2. Choose Administration > System Settings: Date and Time to display the Date and Time page.
3. Under Date and Time, verify that UTC is selected in the Time Zone drop-down list. If UTC is not selected this is a security vulnerability finding.
