DOD 8570.01

The DOD 8570.01 is the Department of Defense's directive on minimum standards for training, certification and job position requirements for all Information Assurance (IA) and Information Technology (IT) positions within the DoD.

The majority of the DoD 8570.01 Baseline certifications are theoretical exams. Even if the exam includes a practical component, it is frequently so simple to perform that it does not verify that the person possesses skills that will be useful in the real world.

Many government cyber specialists are forced to spend their own money to attend more up-to-date, relevant, and hands-on courses in order to learn the skills they need to thrive in their positions.
