What is the DOD 8570 chart and why does it matter in your IT 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 a minimum of one of the certifications listed for that role (see chart). Even companies who never do business with the government are now often requiring these in similar positions.
