Insights from the experts

“The cyber security space is encountering a rapidly evolving landscape that demands both adaptability and vigilance. The potential to bolster or bypass cyber security measures with AI is transforming the threat landscape, enabling automated attacks to proliferate existing threats more efficiently.

“The key to resilience lies in prioritising security as a critical business investment to protect innovation, and fuel business growth. Every organisation building or consuming AI tech will need AI security and AI governance skilled professionals.”

Richard Beck

Portfolio Director – Cyber

Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 8570 / 8140 requires every full and part-time military service member, defense contractor and civilian employee with privileged access to US Department of Defense information systems (IS) to obtain industry certification credentials that have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). 

DoD Information Assurance and Cyber Security Personnel must be fully trained and be certified with baseline certification for their job category and level to perform their duties. The training, certification and workforce management requirements of Directive 8570 / 8140 applies to all members of the DoD IA and Cyber Security Personnel workforces including military, civilians, local nationals, non-appropriated fund (NAF) personnel, and contractors.
