A trusted time source is critical in many organisations such as airports, railways, financial institutions, telecommunications companies, etc. but can also figure highly on the scale of importance in other industries.
Having no trusted time source is a weak point in business security, making it difficult to be protected against fraud, hacking, internal and external disputes, and has a direct effect on efficiency and therefore profitability.
Time information is available from the Internet, but this means allowing data to travel through your firewall, increasing the potential risk of hackers or viruses obtaining access into your network. Also, there are few or no guarantees that the information being provided is accurate or reliable.
System Benefits:
- Accurate & reliable time data from a trusted source
- Control over configuration via web browser
- Synchronicity between users - eradicates discrepancies
- System time stamping (e.g. for e-commerce transactions, e-mail sent & receive, etc) is accurate
- Automatic systems procedures, such as backups, occur at the correct time and in the correct order.
