DOD 8570

What is the DOD 8570 chart and what significance does this have on your career? Many jobs have a government rule they have to follow: If you are in a role where you might have access to sensitive government data, then you are required to have at a minimum of one of the certifications shown for that role (see chart). Even companies who never do business with the government are now often requiring these in similar jobs.
