Department of Defense Directive 8570.1 Information Assurance

In today's environment, the protection and security of information is vital on all levels, especially the government level. Current and future threats and intrusions will escalate without pause. In order to alleviate the continuing threat, the federal government has mandated the completion of appropriate security training and certification of anyone in contact with or conducts IT Information Assurance responsibilities. The command is the Department of Defense Directive 8570.1 (DOD 8570.1).
