E. [System Administrator Certification Program]{.underline}

In addition to any other requirement of this contract, all individuals
who perform tasks as a system administrator or have authority to perform
tasks normally performed by system administrator shall be required to
demonstrate knowledge appropriate to those tasks. This demonstration,
referred to as the NASA System Administrator Security Certification, is
a NASA funded two-tier assessment to verify that system administrators
are able to --

1\. Demonstrate knowledge in system administration for the operating
system for

which they have responsibility.

2\. Demonstrate knowledge in the understanding and application of
Network and

Internet Security.

Certification is granted upon achieving a score above the certification
level on both an Operating System test and the Network and Internet
Security Test. The Certification earned under this process will be valid
for three years. The criteria for this skills assessment has been
established by the NASA Chief Information Officer. The objectives and
procedures for this certification can be obtained by contracting the IT
Security Awareness and Training Center at (216) 433-2063.

A system administrator is one who provides IT services, network
services, files storage, web services, etc. to someone else other than
themselves and takes or assumes the responsibility for the security and
administrative controls of that service or machine. A lead system
administrator has responsibility for information technology security
(ITS) for multiple computers or network devices represented within a
system; ensuring all devices assigned to them are kept in a secure
configuration (patched/mitigated); and ensuring that all other system
administrators under their lead understand and perform ITS duties. An
individual that has full access or arbitrative rights on a system or
machine that is only servicing themselves does not constitute a "system
administrator" since they are only providing or accepting responsibility
for their system. An individual that is only servicing themselves is not
required to obtain a System Administrator Certification.
