DoD 8570 Training course by TONEX offers you the most effective way to become DoD 8570 compliant.

Government agencies know that their best line of defense for securing and protecting their vital information and information systems is a well-trained and aware user. That’s why DoD Directive 8570.1 was put into place. This enterprise-wide mandate requires that any personnel conducting Information Assurance (IA) functions be trained and certified in a commercial certification on the concepts, principles, and applications to enhance protection of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) information, information systems, and networks

DOD 8570 provides guidance and procedures for the training, certification, and management of the DoD workforce conducting Information Assurance functions in assigned duty positions. It also provides guidance on reporting metrics.
