Check: TIPP-NM-000410

Trend Micro TippingPoint NDM STIG: TIPP-NM-000410 (in versions v2 r2 through v1 r1)

Title

The TippingPoint SMS must record time stamps for audit records that can be mapped to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). (Cat II impact)

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 Content

In the SMS client, ensure the GMT/UTC time zone is configured. 1. Select Admin, Server Properties, and Network. 2. If a time zone other than UTC is selected, this is a finding.

Fix Text

In the SMS client, ensure the GMT/UTC time zone is configured. 1. Select Admin, Server Properties, and Network. 2. Under time zone, select UTC. 3. Ensure this is done under an approved change window as it will cause a reboot.
