| Aug 15, 2012 at 1:43 | comment | added | Sirex | @chrisS, did you mean to say "SF is for the tactical discussion of security, whereas the IT security site is for the strategic discussion of security" ? | |

| Aug 14, 2012 at 17:21 | comment | added | Scott Pack | @ChrisS: I suspect the Information Security community tends to believe the overlap does exist, but is fairly small. | |
| Aug 14, 2012 at 17:11 | comment | added | Chris S Mod | Yeah, this is a crappy explanation overall... IT Security really overlaps heavily with SF, we weren't terribly amused when it was proposed. But we definitely needed a place for theory questions and topics that aren't currently a problem. Making exceptions for certain discussion points on SF didn't make sense, so IT Security it is. | |
