US Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8570.1-M requires every part-time or full-time military member or defense contractor that has access to a privileged DoD system to be held by trained and CERTIFIED personnel in a commercial certification to enhance Information Assurance (IA) of the US Department of Defense's (DoD) information, information systems, and networks.

New Horizons can help you remain compliant with training solutions for Directive 8570 sustainment training while developing your skills.
