The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) IASAE covers the requirements for the Information Assurance architecture and engineering areas (IA System Architects and Engineers) as stated by DoD 8570.01-M (manual), which defines the certification paths for Information Assurance (IA) professionals. Due to these requirements, personnel must acquire and maintain certifications within their professional track in order to sustain their positions.
IA architects and engineers are responsible for designing and securing information systems architectures. These individuals are expected to know the best way to protect networks through the implementation of firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), antivirus software, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), border gateways, switches, routers and more. They are also expected to understand the best way to secure interfaces, applications, servers, databases and other system components.
Some job titles for IASAE professionals include:
There are three IASAE certification levels.
An IASAE is expected to be certified at their applicable level within 6 months of taking a position – if they weren’t certified already. Once they achieve the certification, it is important to maintain the continuing education credits to keep their certification up to date. Some positions may require a background investigation as required by DoDI 8500.2.
