Department of Defense Directive 8570 (DoD 8570.1)

The US Department of Defense issued Directive 8570  in 2004 to mandate baseline certifications for all  Information AssuranceIA positions.  In February of 2010, this directive was enhanced to include the Certified Ethical Hacker. The Department of Defense’s (DoD) Directive 8570.1 requires all individuals possessing privileged access to a DoD Information System (IS) to be skilled and certified in the secure operation of computer systems used throughout its Global Information Grid. Failure to meet the certification provisions could mean loss of position for individuals and possible loss of Congressional funding for agencies.
