DoD Manual 8140.03

DoD manual defining the Cyberspace Workforce Qualification and Management Program.

Definition

Issued in February 2023, DoDM 8140.03 requires personnel in DCWF work roles to meet foundational qualification (via education, training, or personnel certification) and residential qualification (on-the-job qualification and environment-specific requirements) at basic, intermediate, or advanced proficiency, plus continuous professional development. Components were given a transition period to qualify personnel.

Example

A cyber defense analyst at intermediate proficiency qualifies foundationally with an approved certification such as CySA+.

Exam tip

Certifications are one of several foundational options under 8140; they are not the only path.
