To correctly correlate the time of registration of events with the time when events occurred in the industrial network, time must be synchronized in the system. The time on nodes with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks components installed must be synchronized with a common source of time used by industrial network assets.
When installing Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks, you can enable time synchronization between the Server and nodes on which sensors are installed. In this case, the node with the Server installed will serve as the time source for nodes that have sensors installed.
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used for automatic configuration of time synchronization between the Server and other nodes. In this case, you cannot configure synchronization with other time sources or use the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) on nodes that have sensors installed.
It is recommended to use the software tools from the operating system of the computer performing Server functions to configure time synchronization between the application Server and the time source used by assets in the industrial network. You can use the standard NTP and PTP protocols to synchronize the Server time. You can find an example of how to configure time synchronization in the Knowledge Base on the Kaspersky website.
