To ensure a knowledgeable and skilled workforce the DoD has taken the necessary steps to develop a directive that involves the credentialing and continuing education of all DoD employees with privileged access to DoD information systems.
__________________________________________________
Specifically, the U.S. Department of Defense Directive 8570.1, signed in August of 2004, requires every full- and part-time military service member, defense contractor, civilian and foreign employee with privileged access to a DoD system, regardless of job series or occupational specialty, to obtain a commercial certification credential that has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
_________________________________________________
The draft manual, 8570.1M, specifies that the Department of Defense requires approximately 110,000 identified Information Assurance professionals to be certified within a five year time period. The Defense Information Assurance Program office has divided its Information Assurance workforce into six defined categories (see chart below). The manual also specifies
the types of commercial information assurance credentials that qualify for each of the defined.
_________________________________________________
Directive 8570.1 in Brief.
_________________________________________________
Defines two IA categories (technical, management); levels within categories (I, II, III);
functions within levels Identifies specific commercial certifications as baseline for each level.
__________________________________________________
Requires all IA certifications be accredited under ISO/IEC Standard 17024("equivalent")certifications acceptable if approved by OSD or accredited to ISO/IEC Standard 17024 by authorized body). For more information on ISO/IEC Standard 17024, visit www.iso.org.
Requires continuous learning to maintain certification status (typically, 40 hours annually; 120hours over 3 years).
________________________________________________
Establishes DoD IA Certification Oversight Advisory Board under the DoD CIO/NII.
_______________________________________________
Requires privileged user agreement outlining responsibilities, plus legal and policy limitations of their authority categories.
DoD is recognized as the vanguard of government security needs identification and requirements policymaking. This directive, and the department's endorsement of commercial certifications, represents welcome, progressive reform. Other government agencies, federally regulated industries, and commercial institutions doing business with the U.S. Government are certain to take notice and follow suit.
