Clock synchronization is the process of aligning the internal clocks of multiple devices or systems to a common reference time. In cybersecurity, accurate clock synchronization is essential for coordinating security protocols, analyzing logs, and detecting anomalies across distributed networks. Without synchronized clocks, it becomes difficult to track the sequence of events, correlate data from different sources, and maintain the integrity of security audits. Common methods for clock synchronization include the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which help ensure that all devices within a network operate on the same time standard, reducing the risk of errors and improving overall security posture.
