Host integrated hardware management controller must enable time synchronization

MoyenneNiveau 1Revue manuellevmware

Description

Cryptography, audit logging, cluster operations, and incident response/forensics depend deeply on synchronized time. This recommendation extends to all devices in infrastructure. The recommendation for NTP is to have at least four sources. Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.
