Learning Sparks
In today’s world, organizations not having the necessary DoD 8570.1 compliance
training can create unnecessary risks. It is not enough to provide a breadth of
learning resources and expect personnel to use them. Time is too valuable and
resources are stretched too thin. It’s imperative that your team gets the information
they need to make critical decisions and manage risk.
At the same time, your IT workers sit in varying places on the learning curve
related to the implementation, monitoring, and support of technologies and
practices relating to Information Assurance (IA) within the Department of
Defense (DoD).
The DoD 8570.1 KnowledgeCenter introduces an array of resources designed and
chosen to challenge and motivate every learner on your team. This one stop portal
allows learners to gain knowledge through articles, courses and online books, but
more than that, the KnowledgeCenter includes hands-on Practice Labs allowing
your IT professionals to learn and use learned skills in a real-time environment.
A Focus On Performance
The DoD 8570.1 KnowledgeCenter provides resources for:
• Beginner and Core topics related to IA Technical (IAT) and IA Management
(IAM)
• Specialty topics related to Computer Network Defense Service Providers
(CNDSPs) and IA Systems Architects and Engineers (IASAEs)
• Computing Environment technologies including Microsoft Windows and CISCO
ICND1/2 Networking Devices
