DOD 8570

What is the DOD 8570 chart and why does it matter in your IT Security career? Many jobs have a legal requirement: If you are in a position 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 companies who do no business with the government are now often requiring these in similar positions.
