Herding Cats is an information security column published every month in the ISSA Journal. This column was originally conceived as a way to try to provide useful tips for the wacky things we see in information security every day. Securing an enterprise is often just like trying to herd cats, thus this column was born (thanks to Fred Langston for coming up with the name!).
