CAST Releases New Technical 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.
