Why Orange Hat Security ?

A few folks have asked why "Orange Hat Security". There were a few personal reasons to choose this odd sounding name, but it felt inspired.

"Chloe"

1. The weekend before creating this blog, I had just sold my 1974 Super Beetle and "Chloe" was orange. She was in the family for over 16 years.. It was sad for everyone.
2. I passed my CISSP in January and had just received my official CISSP # and with the hours of studying to pass the test..  I wouldn't soon forget about about the "Orange Book".
3. A slight reference to the categorization of "white hat" and "black hat" security "professionals. Which side do you choose?
