Description
Logging the date and time of each detected event provides a means to investigate an attack; recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identify an improperly configured IDPS. In order to establish and correlate the series of events leading up to an outage or attack, it is imperative the date and time are recorded in all log records.
