The VMM must synchronize internal information system clocks to the authoritative time source when the time difference is greater than one second.

| Description |
|---|
| Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when conducting forensic analysis and investigating system events. Synchronizing internal VMM clocks provides uniformity of time stamps for VMMs with multiple system clocks and systems connected over a network. |
