DoD 8570.01 Training
Essentials
DoD Directive 8570.01 sets out the information assurance requirements for
individuals working within the Department of Defense, conducting Information
Assurance Functions. These functions range from performing Information
Assurance activities such as C&A to performing basic IT functions such as
Systems Management. Within the document, the DoD details the baseline
certifications required for each function (IAT, IAM, IASAE, and CND) of
service provided. In order to meet the expectations of the Federal
Government, organizations often seek quick and efficient training for
individuals to meet the requirements. These classes can be provided in a
variety of methods:
- Onsite Training
- Web Training
- Video Conferencing
Benefits
The main reason to pursue DoD 8570.01 training is that individuals must
have the proper certifications to begin working on DoD systems. Several of
these certifications are very difficult to earn, requiring months of
preparation, as well as comprehension of large volumes of reading materials.
Training courses are designed to speed up that process and ensure that
individuals are able to pass the tests the first time.
Expertise
SecureState has an effective training program for individuals planning to
take the certification exams. Individuals from many different technical
backgrounds and job roles have gone through our training program, and we
currently enjoy a 95% pass rate for those who have taken the certification
exams.
Our course is unique in that it not only covers the areas included in
each exam; however, it also covers test taking strategies unique to the each
exam. It has been our experience, as well as that of many of our colleagues
in the information security field; that quite often, test takers struggle
most in the domains with which they are most familiar. For example, physical
security experts often struggle with the physical security section of the
test. While this may seem counter intuitive, it demonstrates the fact that
the correct answers on the exams are not necessarily the correct answers in
the real world. A test taker must answer the questions as the test authors
want the questions answered.
