CAST Releases New Tech Bulletin on Secure NTP Implementation for Power System Synchronization

All News

CAST released a Technical Bulletin on Secure NTP Implementation for Power System Synchronization, Network Time Protocol (NTP), a widely adopted standard since the 1980s, ensures millisecond-level clock synchronization across IP networks, playing a crucial role in enterprise systems and the power sector. Accurate timekeeping enabled by NTP supports critical functions like real-time grid monitoring, event logging, and fault detection by providing a consistent time reference across distributed systems. Proper configuration and regular maintenance of NTP servers are essential for ensuring precise synchronization, as well as the security and efficiency of networks.. Download the tech bulletin here.
