Discussion

Understanding when and sequence of events for an incident is crucial to understand what may have taken place. Without a common clock, the components generating audit events could be out of synchronization and would then present a picture of the event that is warped and corrupted. To give a clear picture, it is important that the container platform and its components use a common internal clock.

If the container platform does not use the internal system clock to generate time stamps, this is a finding.
