Accurate and Precise Time Is a Foundational Element in Zero Trust Networks


Time is central to accurate log files that define the who, what, when and where of all activity in a Zero Trust network.

Time that is accurate, reliable and secure is foundational to Zero Trust networks. Without it, authentication mechanisms will fail, essential log file timestamps will not align, Zero Trust analytics will be unreliable, forensics will be hampered and other network issues will occur.

Not only must the time be correct, but the time server synchronizing other equipment like servers, routers and switches must also be compliant to Zero Trust principles and fit accordingly in a Zero Trust architecture.

As the most secure Trusted Time network devices, SyncServer® time servers are best suited to support Zero Trust initiatives. They ensure the security of time and its sources, as well as comply with the fundamental pillars of Zero Trust, including users, devices, network and analytics.

Trusted Time Technology for Zero Trust Networks

As the most secure Trusted Time technology network device, the SyncServer® S600 time server supports Zero Trust initiatives. It ensures the security of time and its sources and also complies with the fundamental pillars of Zero Trust including users, devices, networks and analytics.

Application Note on the Dual Role of Trusted Time for Zero Trust Networks


Compliance With the Pillars of Zero Trust

Trusted Time is an essential aspect of a properly functioning and adequately hardened Zero Trust network. Without the most basic notion of accurate and synchronized time across the Zero Trust network, many of the pillars of Zero Trust will not function reliably.

Secure Time Source for the Zero Trust Network

The time server is foundational in supporting the pillars of Zero Trust networking, enabling accurate log file timestamps through secure, accurate and reliable network-wide time synchronization.
