Meets DoD Directive 8140

Cyberspace is the new battlefield, where commercial, federal, state, and local government agencies (to include the Department of Defense (DoD) assets) have become virtual targets of their adversaries. These threats include critical infrastructures such as the energy, transportation, public health, emergency services, telecommunications, financial systems, shipping, food, water, and chemical sectors.

Organizations require qualified Certified Authorized Professionals (CAP) to monitor and protect their network infrastructure and information systems. The Federal Government recognizes the CAP credential in DoD 8140 at IAM Level I and II. The CAP credential applies to those responsible for formalizing processes that assess risk and establish security requirements and documentation using the Risk Management Framework (RMF) model.

Learn to ensure that information systems possess security commensurate with the level of exposure to potential risk, as well as damage to assets or individuals. Persons in roles as authorization officials, system owners, information owners, information system security officers, certifiers, and all senior system managers will benefit.
