In addition to the baseline IA certification requirement, the DoD 8410 mandate states IATs with privileged access must obtain appropriate Computing Environment (CE) certifications for the operating system(s) and/or security related tools/devices they support as required by their employing organization. For example, Microsoft certification for Microsoft systems support technicians, Cisco certifications for Cisco technicians, or the specific system the IAT is spending most of his or her time supporting. This requirement ensures the individual can effectively apply IA requirements to their hardware and software systems.
