According to U.S. Naval Observatory, world’s official timekeepers will add one second tonight to keep pace with Earth’s slowing rotation on axis.
The operation will occur at 23:59:59 UTC and will affect time from then onward.
This is the 24th second added since 1972, when this practice began and it will require manual time update of all systems that are not automatically updating through time services.
And yes, if your StoneGate Management Center is already set on NTP it will update StoneGate Firewalls and IPS automagically…
Therefore, depending on which time zone you are, you might have to say “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1… Happy New Year”
Onnellista Uutta Vuotta (=Finnish for Happy New Year)!
