Check Text (C-263585r982451_chk)
Verify the Central Log Server is configured to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source.
If the Central Log Server is not configured to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-67393r981839_fix)
Configure the Central Log Server to compare the internal system clocks on an organization-defined frequency with organization-defined authoritative time source.
