If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis.
Verify the time zone is configured for "UTC". Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Time. View the "Time Zone" box. If the Time Zone is not set to "UTC", this is a finding.
Configure the time zone to "UTC". Navigate to Settings >> Initial Configuration >> Time and click on "NTP". Click on the drop-down box next to the "Time Zone" label. Select "UTC" underneath the "Etc" category. Click on "Commit".
