What IAT level are you?

IAT personnel must attain two certifications. First they must attain a technically-oriented security certification, like Security+ for example, one of several that the three levels can choose from. IATs may choose from seven authorized certifications depending on their level. Unlike IAMs however, IATs “must also obtain certifications required to implement the IA requirements for their specific operating system environment.” (Source:http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/857001m.pdf)
