Kyle DuBois, CPP, PSP

Pursuing and earning my ASIS certification was an eye-opening and transformative experience. It provided an exceptional opportunity to translate the knowledge and skills I developed over a military career into a framework that’s highly relevant to the private sector. The process didn’t just validate my experience—it accelerated my ability to contribute business value as a security professional from day one. Earning the Certified Protection Professional (CPP®) and the Physical Security Professional (PSP®) designations has been an outstanding way to showcase my expertise through globally respected board certifications that truly represent the gold standard in security excellence.
