I'm curious, from my location the Security Associates Institute times
out and can't be reached, so what does ESA stand for? I have
searched Google, et. al and have turned up:
Educational Staff Associate
Exercise Safety Association
Ecological Society of America
Environmental Site Assessment
and a slew of others, but nothing obviously related to data security.
I'm not knocking the training since I can't reach the site and
actually read/learn about it, but I'm just wondering how many
"standard" certifications there are and at what point adding initials
to one's name reaches the border of the ridiculous (and yes, I put
initials after my name as well...).
