DoD 8570.01-M

Former DoD manual that required certifications for information assurance workforce categories, superseded by DoD 8140.

Definition

DoD 8570.01-M defined IAT, IAM, IASAE, and CSSP categories with levels I to III and baseline certifications such as Security+ for IAT II. It was replaced by DoDM 8140.03 in 2023, which uses DCWF work roles and multiple qualification paths.

Example

Under 8570 a network administrator needed an IAT Level II certification such as Security+.

Exam tip

IAT/IAM levels are legacy 8570 terminology; current DoD policy uses 8140 work roles.
