What is the DOD 8570 chart and why does it matter in your Cyber-Security career? Many jobs have a government rule they have to follow: If you are in a job where you might have access to sensitive government data, then you must have at a minimum of one of the certifications shown for that role (see chart). Even employers who never do business with the government are now often requiring these in similar roles.
