Blue River Information Technology Unveils Highly Anticipated DOD 8570 Training Incentive Plan

    ARLINGTON, VA, August 13, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Blue River Information Technology, a provider of premiere technical training solutions, today announced its DOD 8570 Certification Training End-of-Year Incentive Plan. This limited release of special incentive pricing and delivery option plan has been anticipated now for several months. Through this vehicle, the Air National Guard and other DOD entities can access cost effective, certified training for its members to achieve full compliance with the DOD 8570 Information Assurance Directive.

The DOD 8570 Directive provides guidance and procedures for the training, certification, and management of all DOD employees performing Information Assurance functions in their line of duty. These individuals are required to carry an approved certification for their particular job classification. The most common certifications required are A+, Network+ and Security+ which cover basic computing, networks, and cyber security. DOD has worked closely with the independent certification Organization COMPTia to ensure objective, uniform standards are applied to the testing and certification process.

Matt Hempel, Blue River Training's Executive Vice President, put the Blue River DOD Incentive Training Package in context. "Towards the end of the federal government fiscal year, many DOD organizations are faced with critical decisions for their workforce, their cyber security posture and compliance with certification provisions of the DOD 8570 Directive. It's our mission to assist both our uniformed military and civilian workforce to achieve full compliancy with the directive. An added benefit to our training programs is the significant, deep competency Blue River Training students achieve in these important Information Assurance disciplines. It's all done through the Blue River Training DOD 8570 Certification Training Incentive Plan."
