DOD 8570

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 position where you might have access to sensitive government data, then you must have at least one of the certifications listed for that role (see chart). Even businesses who never do business with the government are now often requiring these in similar jobs.
