MANHATTAN, Kan., Sept. 18, 2026 –Networks Plus is proud to announce that IT Manager Brad Jepsen has earned the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) certification, one of the most respected and globally recognized credentials in the cybersecurity industry.
The CISSP certification demonstrates advanced expertise in designing, implementing, and managing cybersecurity programs and is considered a benchmark for information security professionals worldwide.
For Jepsen, the achievement represents years of dedication, hands-on experience, and a commitment to helping organizations stay secure in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
"Getting my CISSP was a big milestone for me, both professionally and personally," Jepsen said. "It reflects years of hands-on work in IT, security, and infrastructure, along with a lot of continuous learning. More than just earning a certification, it validates the skills and experience I've built over the years and highlights my commitment to helping organizations keep their systems, data, and people safe."
Jepsen pursued the certification to expand his cybersecurity expertise and strengthen his ability to help clients address evolving security challenges.
"Cybersecurity has become an essential part of every organization's success, and I wanted to deepen my understanding of security from both a technical and strategic perspective," he said. "The CISSP is regarded as one of the industry's leading certifications, covering a wide range of cybersecurity topics. Pursuing it challenged me to expand my expertise and better align my experience with industry best practices and security leadership principles."
As IT Manager, Jepsen plays a key role in helping Networks Plus customers navigate cybersecurity risks, protect critical business systems, and implement technology solutions that support their long-term success.
"Brad's achievement reflects both his personal dedication and our commitment to providing the highest level of expertise to our customers," said Jake Schulte, director of IT operations. "The cybersecurity landscape is constantly evolving, and certifications like CISSP demonstrate the advanced knowledge and leadership needed to help organizations stay protected."
While earning the CISSP marks a significant accomplishment, Jepsen says his professional development journey is far from over.
"I jokingly told my wife this would be the last certification exam I ever take, but with technology and cybersecurity evolving so quickly, I doubt that will be the case for long," Jepsen said. "If I had to choose my next area of focus today, it would likely be cybersecurity architecture or AI-related cybersecurity."
